The apartment was absolutely lovely - quite quirky, but comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The location was perfect for exploring the old town which is in very easy walking distance and there were plenty of nearby shops, cafes, restaurants etc literally right outside the front door. The view of the botanical gardens from the kitchen window was lovely -,especially being able to watch the green parrots. The only thing to be aware of if you are driving is that although there is on street parking the cars are so tightly packed and spaces rarely became available, although there is 24 hour underground paid parking. We had a hire car, which in retrospect was not necessary as the city is so easy to get around and taxis very cheap. Would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment.
