Wow! I really felt I lucked out finding Sandra's apartment. It was clean, lovely, stocked with more amenities than I could use (wish I had been staying long enough to use the lovely stove - but I did take advantage of the espresso machine!)
Sandra welcomed me to the apartment, provided a list of local recommended spots and a map, then left me to make myself at home. The location couldn't be better for strolling to central sights, shopping, and restaurants - and an easy walk from the train station. I hope I don't drive the price up by saying I felt I got an amazing bargain! Thank you, Sandra!
