I think what I like most is that we were actually met by the owner, not an "assistant". We were there to plan a Sept. wedding and Maria was very helpful and gave us a lot of suggestions about possible venues for dinners. The personal touch was important to us. The location is perfect, couldn't have asked for a better place. Although there's no elevator, it's only one flight of stairs to the comfortable apartment. There is a small space that could be called an "office". This became my space and I used it to keep up with my work and felt it was very cozy. All in all, a perfect stay!
