If you want to live with the locals, this is the place. You will feel like you are at home immediately. The #44 bus will take you into the heart of town, and is only 4 minute walk and easy to access. There are several places for grocery shopping even a Natural Food Grocery, just 5 minutes on foot. If you like to have a late night drink, their is a Pub only 2 blocks from the front door and the streets felt very safe to be out after dark. Be prepared though, as you stay like a local, you will encounter things like dumpsters over flowing and trash on the streets. This is not a dig at the apartment, just don't judge the place by this. You will be provided great customer service by the owner and her family. Of all my BNB stays, they were the most helpful and responsive ever, and really want to make sure you have a good stay. OH and lots of space, one bedroom sleeps 2 (couple) nicely, and the other bedroom with 2 beds provide ample space. The couch is even a great option, as its comfortable to lay down on for a nap or over night rest. The view of the courtyard from the kitchen windows was amazing and being able to have the windows open for a cool breeze was enjoyable.
