The Charming Suite was indeed charming! With the stone walls and lovely garden it was like no other place we have stayed. Alex was very helpful and a wonderful host who obviously loves his home and city. He gave us several recommendations and we were pleased with all of them. The apartment is very comfortable but a little damp. We ran the dehumidifier continuously and it kept us comfortable - the weather was clear with little humidity which probably helped. If you are over 5' 8" tall, beware of the low ceiling in the loft/bedroom. My husband at 5' 11" was comfortable but had to be aware.
We will miss gazing at the city lights and watching the action on the bridge. This was a beautiful place to stay and it was hard to leave!
