This neighborhood is central without being in tourist-central! I borrowed a bike, and getting around (also via the metro) could not have been easier or lovelier. Suzanne's home is extremely clean and orderly. She replied to all my questions and concerns immediately, with helpful details and maps. Based on her cautions about brief showering, I was braced for that to be a compromise-- but she was being too modest! No issues whatsoever. My flight from Berlin had a several-hour delay, and she was vastly kind in dealing with a terribly late arrival. I was impressed with the resourceful provisions she made in arranging a fairly private area for her guest in a small apartment.
