Our stay at Marco’s apartment was nice. It’s very spacious, comfortable beds and has a nice bathroom. It was late winter while we stayed so the living room was chilly with no rugs but the heater worked fine. There wasn’t any soap supplied for the bathroom or the washing machine as we’d expected given the ratings but it was otherwise nice. The area is calm and about a 30 minute walk to the center. We found the area less colorful, people less friendly and slightly more expensive than the center was
