Ernest's place is very convenient if you are renting Europcar or arriving by airplane. Europcar is less than 10 min walk, and the Airport is about a 15-minute drive. The view from the apartment is great and you definitely get a feel for how locals live. Yes, there are stairs - if you have a lot of heavy bags or mobility issues, this could be a concern. The place is very very spacious, has all the things one might need, except for AC. It's a cool experience and worth staying a couple of days.
