The neighbourhood is quiet and just outside the tourist hubbub but a few minutes walk takes you to the airport bus stop or over the river to pick up routes to the historical sites. Susy is very friendly and met us on arrival as we had arranged in advance, explained everything and went out of her way to be helpful throughout our stay. The apartment is a really impressive art deco design inside an imaculate traditional building with a lovely old but reliable lift which we did not need to reach the 2nd floor but used just for the memory of such things. The room was cool in the heat and everything perfectly clean and worked with hot water always on tap and our own key. In all ways Susy's apartment was a perfect base for our trip and we will happily recommend Susy as a host.
