Des was the most hospitable host, very welcoming (with great English!), and provided us with some fantastic choices for sampling local food and wine - Mama Roux (hip and funky) and Momo (finer dining) were both fantastic.
The location of the studio was perfect, on a quiet street but right in the middle of everything, easy walk to all tourist sights. A really tranquil setting in a private courtyard with own outdoor space. The studio was impeccably clean with some very individual decor which made it very special. It was just a shame we were only there for one night.
