Marco met our taxi in front of the building and showed us inside. He and his son showed us the apartment (exactly as listed), and sat down with us and a map to give a useful introduction to the city and the neighborhood. Marco checked in with us a few times during our stay to make sure we were comfortable.

The apartment is in a location convenient to the underground to get to all of the tourist sites. There's a grocery store an pharmacy just a few steps from the door, and bakery a short walk away. There are many restaurants within walking distance, as well.

We enjoyed making breakfast at the apartment, heading out for a day of sightseeing or shopping, then returning to relax and clean up for dinner at a local restaurant.

I was concerned as we searched listings about the size of beds; most appeared to be smaller than I would find comfortable. I sleep at home in the US on a "King" size bed. I didn't measure, but the bed seemed to be between US "King" and "Queen" sizes, and was very comfortable.

It was a great trip, made much better by the comfortable accommodations and gracious host.

Thanks, Marco!
