This apartment is small but adequate. It is on third floor so carrying bags up to apartment can be an effort. There is a elevator straight into Cynthia's apartment that is on same level, that can be used when you arrive. No air-conditioning or fan so it is warm during September. Close to main tourist areas but if you wander the back streets, you can find lovely restaurants or cafes. Close to the English Gardens. Cynthia was helpful and had a drawer of maps and tourist guide books that helped with the planning of your days.
