The apartment was clean and spacious, exactly how it's portrayed in the pictures. The neighborhood felt safe and it was nice being a few minutes away from the tourist area so you can get a feel for what it's like to really live like a local. Greg was also a great host, he answered all of my numerous emails and questions and when we hit a travel delay he made sure to stock the fridge with breakfast and even bought a traditional New Years cake for us so we wouldn't miss out! You're close to everything you need and you have all of the comforts of home.
