The apartment was basic but newly renovated and clean and had everything I needed, including a stocked fridge and tea/coffee. The location is convenient, being slightly out of the busy downtown but close enough to walk (or hop on a bus to save time). Be sure to wander around the neighborhood, as there is quite a mixture of buildings from different eras and in various states of repair, as well as shops/cafes. If you're lucky the chocolate factory will be pumping smells into the air. And do not miss the Rocket Bean cafe (great coffee as well as beer/wine). Check-in was easy too.
