It was a great area to be in, but you need to be prepared for the uphill roads in addition to the stairs to the apartment . The host is very helpful and her communication is great. The apartment is nice, but requires some TLC... the bathroom is probably the most disappointing aspect. The roof top has superb views, but is also on need of some TLC. Also has some additional steps to get to it which are narrow. All said we did enjoy our 12 days there.
