The apartment is very comfortable and clean. In an older part of town. Close to good shopping, we walked most places. Two bikes provided a lovely touch for those who enjoy this type of transport. We didn't meet Mari a but she responded quickly to our queries via email. Apartment is 2nd floor so having a lift was great for moving suitcases around. Restaurant selection in immediate area not great. Late checkout was much appreciated. We used hop on hop off bus to get ourselves oriented and around the local sights.
