We had a lovely stay at Mary's apartment. The apartment was comfortable and Mary truly took the extra steps to make us feel at home. The location was indeed very central and we loved that, but the central location did give us our only challenges with the space though I don't like having to share them. The noise from the street was almost 24/7 - in the day with cars, people, buses, and at night with the roaring engines of the cars and motos that enjoyed being able to speed faster through less crowded streets. The noise made it difficult to fall asleep and then stay asleep. Parking was the second challenge as it's forbidden on this street between 8am and 9pm and the incredibly narrow side streets made parking and driving looking for parking a challenge. Not for the faint of heart or those with cars larger than a smart car!
