The apartment was very nice and larger than I expected. The location is about 10 minutes from the castle and about a 10 minute walk from the metro station near the cruise ship dock. It was interesting to walk on the very narrow, twisty, and hilly streets. GPS worked well for helping us find our way around. It was clear that the hosts want you to have a great time. They had a whole book with information and suggestions. They also provided a welcome basket. They also helped us with our luggage when we arrived since there is no elevator. They also arranged a cab for us when we left. The area was quiet at night. We went to one of the recommended restaurants just down the street and the food was good and not very expensive.
