Vicen's house locates in a quiet area. It takes about 30~40 minutes walk to get the main viewpoints. Of course you can take buses if the departure time is matched. But I always enjoy walking and exploring the city.
Vicen can speak a little English, and most of time we communicated through Google Translate. She is so nice, and gives a lot of private spaces to her guest. Her dog is quiet and never bother you at all.
Fully recommended.
