Nicola's flat is as described - it's cozy, but well-appointed, with lots of thoughtful touches like an umbrella, medical kit, and amply supplied kitchen. The balcony garden is indeed lovely - spacious and relaxing, and makes you forget that you're in the middle of a city. Transportation links are good, and there are many restaurants and smaller eating establishments all within walking distance. Location is great for living like a local, yet not far from the main touristy sites. Nicola is very responsive and helpful as a host.
