The apartment was amazing. Exactly as described and the photos do it justice. It is very spacious and it has everything you need. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen excellent. We could do with a bit more powerful shower but the bathroom in general was huge and beautiful.
We felt very welcome and there was also a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us and several goodies in the kitchen.

The area was great. There were restaurants, a supermarket, a fantastic ice cream place and a metro station round the corner. We felt slightly cautious in the evening as there were a few groups of men hanging around but that seemed to be only on one of the roads a bit further up. I think if you make sure you don't walk alone and wave your purse to them you'll be ok!

In general we had a lovely experience and I have already forwarded the details to my friends who asked me straight away about this beautiful apartment.
Thanks Roberta!
