We loved our stay here! Our train arrived before check-in and we intended to just hang out, but Carmen graciously offered to let us come and check in early. Her directions were perfect for the taxi and Carmen greeted us and showed us around. She had printed out a map with highlighted areas, info on transportation, grocery and dining options, bike rentals etc. That was very well done and helpful. The apartment itself was wonderful also. My husband had hurt his knee, so I went out on my own to get groceries and explore. This apartment is in more of a local area than a tourist area, and I totally felt safe and the people around were just lovely. To cook, we had everything we needed including oil and some spices...just add food and creativity. The hop on hop off bus stops right out in front. Most everything to see is about a 15 - 20 minute walk straight down the street, which is flat (no hills to walk up and down). Truly a great location for "best of both worlds" - close to all touristy things, yet with local charm.
I recommend!
