The view won me over, and I'm so glad that I ended up on this neighborhood. The other areas are rarely as beautiful as this.
The apartment is very comfortably laid out and I love the decor. The landlord lives across the hall, met us with a bottle of wine on the first night, greeted us a couple of times and helped us negotiate the stairs with our luggage.
Transportation was convenient by ferry, water taxi (2€ each) and taxis, especially those we arranged with Daniella's help. (She was incredible!)
