We (a family with three children aged 9-15 yrs) had a great stay in Karen’s apartment. It was clean, cozy, and had a nice kitchen and table from around which we could start the day. It had a city feel, with convenient stores close by, yet it was quiet. We could unload the car in front of the building (and then parked it elsewhere). With a metro stop around the corner, the apartment was an easy starting point to explore the city with kids (and also to easy to come back and fetch our towels to visit the beach!). Great city, too!
