House of Colors was a very pleasant stay. It is an easy walk to the Lido water bus stop and a main Street with lots of evening activity. It was a bit loud in the evenings from the bar/restaurant across the street. Markets are nearby and the apartment is stocked with the most useful basics like cooking utensils, garbage bags, broom, towels, etc. but otherwise very spacious with lots of room for it's guests. Although Gertrud didn't speak much English, she was very responsive to advance texts and messages while we were there and even met us at the boat stop. Overall, I would recommend it if you want to be near activity.
