Ester's place was lovely and cosy, and we felt at home as soon as we arrived. We didn't get to meet our host but all communication was quick and easy and Ester was thoughtful enough to explain everything we needed to know about our stay well in advance. She had also left fresh fruit, wine, yummy biscuits and loads of other breakfast essecials waiting for us as well as bar/restaurant recommendations in the area. The apartment itself was spotless, bright, nicely decorated, with very comfy, large beds and everything you need to cook a big, family meal. A couple of things to bear in mind - the roof terrace is out of bounds, which was totally fine with us, but other smokers might find the three flights of stairs a bit of a pain (great exercise though :) Also, the bedroom upstairs doesn't have a door so you can hear everything that goes on downstairs. The area is just perfect with everything you need at your doorstep including a bakery, a bunch of restaurants, bars and the best market I've ever been to, where you can buy pretty much anything. It's a gorgeous spot, a lovely place to stay and we'd definitely love to go back again :)
