Fantastic location for a cycling stay. This location is great. Close to a grocery store, but even better - it is very close to an absolutely superb marketplace for fresh produce, meat, seafood, grains, nuts, etc.. Really, maybe the best marketplace I have ever seen. Access to the old town area of the city is quick and easy on foot. I stayed for a month, and the location was really better than described by the host. The elevator will easily fit a bike flight case, or a built up bike. Also, the extra help from the host on both arrival and departure made this a great experience.
