Marlene is a very welcoming, thoughtful and a kind host. Her daughter Tess greeted us, who was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We also met her son Igor with Tess, and he was pleasant as well. Marlene arrived in 5 minutes to also explain all in apartment and to offer information on dining and local advise. Marlene assisted us with our laundry by Abdul her housekeeper at a small fee. She kept prompt communication? The apartment was in a 16th Century building, which had character, was comfortable and a great location. Walking distance to major sightseeing attractions, excellent restaurants and the best coffee shop very close by. The apartment was cozy and well appointed. Marlene had left milk, juice and soda water in fridge for us. There was also supplies of tea, coffee and condiments. It was on the dark side (as was located on the ground level and windows opened out onto a courtyard of a square block), but with the lights and door opened it was all you needed. There was a separate toilet from bathroom and The apartment was very clean. We enjoyed our stay here and thank you Marlene and family.
