(1) Virginia is an amazing host. She is warm and welcome and her restaurant recommendations are the best. Skip the tourist traps and eat where the locals eat with her recommendations. Or go to the grocery store one block down and cook in the apartment with provided cookware. (2) Location is fantastic. Close enough to all the touristy areas, but in a quiet area. You can walk to most places in 15-20 minutes or walk less than 5 minutes to a bus and/or train station and get around all around the city. (3) Apartment is great and is as described. It is spacious and clean. It has a lot of natural sunlight, but can use the blackout curtains for afternoon siestas. Would stay here again and recommend staying here for any of my friends or family.
