We spent an entire month at this apartment and highly recommend it. The apartment is spacious, modern, comfortable and well outfitted. We cooked numerous meals in the kitchen, using locally sourced ingredients. You can truly and comfortably experience life as a local, shopping and cooking with restaurants nearby for those nights you want to eat out. The apartment is 1 km from the train station, two blocks from the high street (fancy pedestrian mall with very high end shops), two blocks from a big, good grocery store and about a ten minute stroll to the historic old town, and a 12-15 minute stroll to the waterfront promenade. Everything you could want is in short walking distance. Also nearby are specialty shops for meat, wine, fruit, vegetables, cheese, desserts, etc. About four blocks away is a laundromat where you can drop off and pick up your laundry at 10 euros a load. There are a number of excellent restaurants in the area, from places to pick up a quick meal to fancy establishments. Near the train station is the car rental (an easy walk) and we also found traveling by train for day trips very easy and convenient. You should have no hesitation about booking this large, quiet, comfortable apartment in a great neighbourhood. We felt safe and relaxed there. Paola and Egle were helpful and responsive hosts.
