Simone's apartment is amazing. It is in a very peaceful little corner of the city that felt very local and lacking in tourists (a good thing, obviously). About a 20 minute walk from the central station and just a little bit further into the center of town, it is away from the hustle and bustle but everything is extremely accessible. I really enjoyed my walk into town every da-- lots of good people watching and beautiful streets in this neigborhood. The apartment is beautiful and simple and has lots of really nice touches. Very comfortable. Simone was always very easy to reach and had SO MANY good suggestions, but I also felt like I had lots of privacy. 5th floor up, which is tough if you have lots of baggage, but otherwise totally ideal. Would definitely return.
