Ria's lovely apartment is situated up a hill and requires a short uphill walk from the train station/metro. This didnt bother us at all but may be too much for some people, especially in the heat. There is however a bus stop outside the door. We loved being up and seeing out to the city and hills. It felt quiet and peaceful out of the bustle. The apartment is beautifully appointed, including music and art. It felt very comfortable and inviting and Ria was very helpful with information and tips. We didnt meet Jason.
