Very conveniant spot with restaurants, markets, and transportation nearby, although very near a bad neighboohod (drugs, thiefs..) like any big city really… police is always there to make it safe by night. That put aside, we had a blast! We moved easily from place to place thanks to the good train connections. Maria is a greek goddess, she is the nicest, very pleasant to turn to for advices too. Her place is very neat and tidy! Only thing we noticed was the lack of a washing machine.
