We thoroughly enjoyed Mauro's apartment. We especially appreciated having a private patio in the back, where you could hear music and the hustle and bustle of an active community during the day, then have quiet in the evening. The apartment itself was large with a separate kitchen area that had a washer and a microwave. I was concerned at first being in a no-car, hilly area with a semi-disabled person, but we figured things out pretty quickly. And the history and quaintness of the area makes up for any inconvenience of limited transportation in the immediate area. You can phone for a taxi and they can pick you up at the apartment. Only taxis can go there. Don't try to uber, especially from the airport. It's a long uphill walk with suitcases through a maze of streets and tourists. My recommendation is to learn the lay of the land when you first get there. Find your way down to where the traffic is blocked, because if you do any tours, you will have to go there to be picked up. There are several restaurants and small eateries in the neighborhood. Mauro is very helpful with questions, too. I highly recommend this apartment.
