It’s cute, it’s cozy, it’s totally buried in a neighborhood. It’s not in the old town or downtown, but it’s not terribly far. It is significantly uphill from much of what is around, and while the 28 trolley runs within a block or two, it’s often very crowded. Not a problem for us, as we walked 28 miles (45 kilometers) in the three days we stayed with Simone, but something to be aware of.
As for the apartment, it’s not big, but it is well cared for, cute and has everything you need. The bathroom was good, the shower had great pressure and was awesome. The bedroom is small, but the bed was comfortable and it’s a really quiet place, tucked back in a courtyard.
If you are willing to abandon the touristy stuff down the hill, there are a bunch of good local places to eat nearby.
All in all, it’s a place we definitely recommend.
