The apartment is nicely renovated, on the second floor, no elevator. It was hot though, 25+ inside, so I didn't sleep very well. We didn't get to meet Helena, but her grandmother who checked us in, is such a lovely person. The apartment is a bit further from the old town, but public transport is close, trams and buses stop right next to the house. In May '18 a 3 day ticket cost 10 euros. We didn't find any bakery or grocery store (which would sell bread) nearby, so in the mornings you have to get your breakfast baquette by tram or car.
