Sara provided really wonderful directions including pictures to help us navigate our way to the apartment. She was not in town during our stay but we met the lady staying there who allowed us to drop off our bags early so we could enjoy the city without lugging them around. We only stayed one night so we didn't utilize the kitchen. We did use the washing machine, unfortunately you can only use this after 7 pm so we had to pack semi wet clothes into our bags the next day but as back packers we were just thankful for the free washer! The room was beautiful and clean, very pretty view of rooftops out of our window. My only negative (which wasn't a negative for us but may be for others) are the amount of stairs to reach the apartment. Anyone who is lugging a lot of baggage or physically is limited with stairs should probably reconsider staying here as there are many stairs to the top!
