Very clean and well maintained studio apartment. About a 10-15 minute walk to the grocery store and about the same to the Metro stop to the downtown Central train station. Train ride is about 10-15 minutes. It is about a $45 Euro taxi ride so try to figure out how to use the Metro instructions to her apartment and see if Simone will pick you up at the closest stop. She had a conflict on our arrival day but was nice enough to drop us off when we were leaving. She welcomed us with some fruit and wine, which was a nice gesture. Best Italian restaurant downtown was Cafe Piazza. Van Gogh Museum is a must stop.
