The apartment was comfortable, very clean and spacious with quirky touches. It had everything we needed, including a very good range of kitchen equipment and a powerful shower. There were at least three excellent, inexpensive restaurants close to the apartment, which was situated in a busy and lively location. For those wishing to escape the hubbub of the city the nearby Botanical Garden was a peaceful and delightful refuge. As to be expected when living in the middle of a large and busy city, it was sometimes a little noisy from the traffic and people outside. But we had a great two weeks and would like to come back soon.
