Ira's place is exactly as the pictures describe it, modern, clean, with a beautiful view and terrace. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, but be prepared for walking up hill. There is an elevator up to the fifth floor in the building although the penthouse is situated on the 6th floor. However, Ira was both willing and able to help us with our luggage (we are elderly although healthy), which was much appreciated.
We recommend this place highly; we enjoyed especially our delightful meals on the terrace. A good bakery and an excellent affordable take out restaurant are within a few minutes walk.
