If one of your criteria for choice of place is how it reflects the charm of the city you are visiting, then you will be very happy with Uma's place. I'm not sure exactly how old the building is, but several hundred years is my guess. Fret not, it is fitted with all the modern amenities, and we had a lovely stay. Uma even has a few surprises up her sleeve, and I will not divulge any more than that. A little downside to the place is that it is on the south side of the river, so just a little further to walk to the main attractions, but not a lot further. Bear in mind that the places more centrally located are going for much higher prices. Also, the Wifi reception was a bit sporadic and at times frustrating, but this could be the fault of the service provider. Communication with Uma in English was great, and I have no hesitation at all recommending her place.
