I love old European buildings and this place was the best on our trip. AND... when we arrived, there was no internet, making my teenage daughter more and more depressed. I let Andrea know and asked for advice and while I'm turning the router on and off to see what I could do they show up with a whole different internet system that works instantly. The plaza that the apartment is in is wonderful. Local kids playing, fish mongers in the morning, adult drinking games in the afternoon (and they all disappeared around nightfall.) It looked like there was some type of scavenger hunt going on. They definitely were having fun. The walk was easy from the train station and I would not want to be further away from the station. Check in and check out were easy.
