We had some trouble communicating with Germana in the beginning due to having no cell service and some language barriers. However, Germana was helpful and accommodating throughout. She was a great host and responded quickly.
Near the apartment there are 2 grocery stores (1 of them is open 24hrs). There is also a strip of restaurants across the street.
Adjacent to the apartment are the bus and tram stops. The train station is about a 35-40 mins away and the metro is about 12 mins away, both on foot.
