This apartment is in an excellent location within walking distance of small food shops for necessities, restaurants, bars and centre of things. There are some steep stairs to climb to get to the apartment but we didn't find this a problem and don't think it would be an issue for most. Rubens met us early at the apartment and let us leave luggage there until it was ready for us later in day. He also dropped us of at Timeout Market and give us some local Information which was a great help. Unfortunately while we were there, construction work was being carried out opposite which did infringe on our privacy a bit while we were in the apartment, it would be unfair of us not to mention this. Although you are out & about the city a lot it is only a small issue and Ruben feels the work will be almost complete by summer next year which is when the lovely balcony would be so important. We would return to Rubens place and had a lovely stay there.
