Ana’s place is a comfortable jumping off point for sight-seeing; walking distance to train & bus station, a path to jog alongside the riverfront, quieter than the more touristy neighborhoods. I appreciated being a little outside the busier areas of old town as I had work to do while there. It is easy enough to go over to the older sections of town as you desire; just a bit further to go. Again - transit overcomes that issue easily.
And of course, Ana was kind and swift to respond to my questions.
