Well first off we didn't end up staying in this listing, as there had been some problems with the water. However, Serena went out of her way to find us a great apartment very close by, and she was amazingly flexible with regards to check in times. (Our train arrived at 7:00 in the morning, and we checked in at 9:45) The area was fantastic- walkable to all major attractions, but far enough out to have affordable supermarkets and some lovely local bakeries. I would highly recommend a stay, although August is a bit hot!
