We stayed for three weeks. The apartment was very clean and while small had everything we needed for a stay to explore the city. The area feels safe and is quiet at night. The local area has a launderette and shops; the centre is a brisk five minute walk away and buses to the centre and station stop right outside the apartment. Melina's friend whom we met speaks excellent English and was very welcoming and thoughtful, even driving us to our next place, and nothing was a problem. Recommended.
