My family and I were greeted by Celeste's mother Mena. She was so nice, bringing us home grown oranges and offering to do our laundry. We found our clothes freshly washed and folded the next day. The apartment was very cozy and consisted of one large room with a side kitchen. Prior to arrival, it was hard to tell from the photos if there were any windows, but there was actually one int he kitchen and another big one in the main room. Both opened up to a courtyard. The bathroom looked new and the apartment was very clean with lots of extra towels and sheets. One word of caution: the ceiling is very low. My dad, who was 5'8" just barely missed hitting the ceiling. Taller folks might have to walk a bit hunched over. Overall, it was an amazing experience living in a historical palace in such a unique part of the city. There was a constant hustle and bustle outside with people, mopeds, cars, buses, and shops all trying to occupy the single street.
