The space is exactly as pictured and it is a fifteen minute walk to the main sights, as well as a five minute walk from the train station. It is really lovely and well maintained and has a good use of space, with good lighting. It also had a washer, (which i really needed) & included soap! There was tea in the cabinet! That made me so happy. I am not used to city living, so it was a bit noisier than I anticipated, with an upstairs neighbor and recycling bins across the street and a truck dropping off supplies to a restaurant in the morning and people talking on the street. But, if you are used to cities, that shouldn’t bother you, as it was normal street noises and it is probably less noisy than the tourist areas. Barbara met me and was so kind! I fell on my way there when my suitcase got caught (watch out for those rough sidewalks!) and she walked me over to the pharmacy, stayed with me while I bought bandages and checked up on me the next day. Communication with Michele before hand was very thorough & pleasant, too. If you are a single woman, you might want to be aware that this is located in a city area and not the tourist area. That doesn’t bother me and I never felt unsafe, but be aware if that makes you uncomfortable.
