We found that the location was excellent for eating out. This became important to us because we had been ill and did not do as much sightseeing as we expected. The location of fine coffee shops and bistros, with local interesting architecture and parks, made it pleasant to walk out and have good experiences close to home. The afternoon winter (end of December) sun made the front rooms warm as well as open, and cheered us up. The living room also had a very effective gas heater. The rear bedroom did not share this warmth and sun, and had our friends' plan to share the suite not fallen through due to injury, one couple would have had a better time than the other here.
