Yulia was a lovely hostess. She was very sweet and is obviously very house proud. The apartment was comfortable and clean. It is not in the hustle and bustle of the big city, but instead very close to the beach and also to the Oceanarium and the Arts and Science buildings. Even if you don't go in, they are just beautiful buildings to look at, and there are activities for the kids.
Grocery stores are only one street away, and there is a regular bus service into the city, and to the beach.
