Fran was very helpful with meeting me and navigating to the room. His map and tips were quite useful; the map and Google maps helped me navigate the maze of alleys and bridges on the island. It was fun! The room was quiet, and the bathroom and kitchen were shared with other guests and our host (all as listed). The apartment was in a residential area. Be prepared to walk, to climb stairs, and to climb over pedestrian bridges with your luggage; you won't always be able to pull a heavy bag. Thank you, Fran and Gi, for making my stay a good one!
