Place is in walking distance to all of the most important sites to see. The place is very pretty and comfortable. Don't rely on the breakfast. You will want to get breakfast out as we were supplied with just small, very hard toast and fruit that was not so fresh. I would not let this deter you from the apartment. It is very pretty and a good place to stay. We accepted her offer of the taxi to the apartment from the airport and thought it was such a good idea that we got the taxi back to the airport. I would suggest doing this if you have 3 or more people in the taxi. It costs the same. The city is very large so I would have not found it easy. Once you get there and get your bearings straight, then you can attempt the metro. Anyways, once you are there, I don't think you will need to even use the metro. All sites are in walking distance and that is part of the fun of it. Thanks for a great stay.
