Rut's place, as others have said, is a welcome respite from the center of the city! It's located in an easy, vibrant neighborhood...very safe and yet, you can feel the wonderful vibe of a working neighborhood...families out and about, close to markets and the beach. Rut is a wonderful host who has thoughtfully made thorough and wonderful recommendations! Her apartment is easy to relax in and make some simple meals. Such a wonderful spot!
