Marianne's place was very convenient for traveling around the city. There is a bus stop a block away to take you directly into the heart of the main attractions but it is just as easily walked within a 20-30 min time period. If you're good with maps, navigating the city from Marianne's is doable. Restaurants, grocery stores, and bars are also nearby, yet the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. We did arrive late so Marianne had to rush through the walk through of the apartment, but make sure you ask question about how appliances, etc work if you're not familiar with the language or models to avoid breakage. Otherwise Marianne is a kind, responsive, non-intrusive host. Her home is lovely and adults can fit in the children beds comfortably!
