Flavia's mother was at the apartment upon our arrival. She was lovely, although she did not speak English she was genuine and we had no trouble understanding her. Flavia had told us this information before we arrived so we were not surprised. This location is perfect for transportation, sightseeing and quiet evenings sitting on the patio looking at the absolutely amazing view. It was so quiet and clean and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for anything more during our stay here.
