Carla was a wonderful hostess. She was in the apartment when we arrived, showed us around and familiarized us with the workings of the washer, stove, etc., and left us with a few goodies to eat and drink. The apartment is very full of light and air, and it is tastefully furnished by the owner, who also lives there when it is unoccupied by guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially the location, which is convenient (10-15 minutes walking) to the old town center and also has a taxi stand less than two blocks away, which facilitated our departure. One caution: The apartment is on the top floor of the apartment, accessible by many flights of stairs (a total of 106 steps), including a final flight which is very nearly vertical and quite narrow. Getting any valise up to--and down from--the apartment is a game of balance, strength, and courage. We managed it, but not without sweat and, nearly, tears. No blood though. On the whole a lovely apartment which anyone younger than my 68 years should jump at.
