We stayed one month in this great little house in Observatory. We loved the open spaces, the kitchen with everything you need for cooking, the luxury of cleaning service, and the wonderful small courtyard in the back. Also, lots of good books and tourist info. Grazia was both friendly and generous, helping us out with small extras like an early check-in and an air mattress for a guest who did not want to sleep on the sofa. There are many grocery stores, cafés and restaurants in the area within walking distance. The list of tips provided was very useful. We were two colleagues sharing the house whilst working at UWC and the location was good, although we did require a car. (A car is a must for staying in Obs.) In general, the area felt quite safe for us, as well as very quiet at night. We felt like we stayed at a friend's house.
