The apartment is so nice & in a fantastic location for sightseeing, as well as restaurants and shops. We usually picked up a taxi right outside the apartment. The hostess was friendly & helpful, giving us local tips & information. She showed us how to use the elevator so we could get our heavy bags up to the apt. We loved it and would definitely stay again! We were not familiar with the combo washing machine/ dryer which washes & dries, so please note- once you put your clothes in- you cannot get them out for approx 3 hours! They most go through the entire cycle-so you must plan accordingly!
