Reading through the reviews, I was shocked to see so many guests were taken aback by the neighbourhood. We enjoyed the diversity of the neighbourhood, and how it felt very much like a place for local people to grow up and live, while being so close to the “touristy” part of town. The walk to the center is easy, safe, and fun! Follow the rainbow step road and it will lead you there in a matter of minutes (6 minutes to be exact). Great value for location and space - we enjoyed a bottle of wine on the terrace as well as a few pizzas we took away from a restaurant at the bottom of the stairs. Great free parking was also appreciated, right outside the apartment.
