We arrived after dark, so finding the apartment and parking entrance was tricky, but once we were in touch with Carla, getting into the parking courtyard was easy and essential; as parking is at a premium in this area. We found the neighborhood safe and family oriented. Many newer buildings among older ones. Carla's rental is an older building that has been broken into several apartments. The space was basic yet charming. All the furnishings, bedding, dishes, etc was an eclectic mix of gathered items which gives the apartment a home-like feel. We did some cooking and found the kitchen well enough equipped. Also, sugar, olive oil, salt, napkins, and the like, are there for your use, which is great for obvious reasons. There is little in the way of a common area beyond the kitchen table and a futon, but we did not spend much time in the apartment, so that was not an issue. For traveling with a larger group and trying to maintain a responsible budget, we found this apartment perfect for our needs. Thank you, Carla!
