it was a lovely stay. the outside was vibrant and full of life (which was great for me as i wanted to meet the locals, however when i got back in the evening i could sleep well.
the place itself looks even better in person than in pictures.
Julia made sure that i was very well informed about the surrounding area, and as such was very warm and welcoming into her city.

the only suggestion i could give was that the bedroom was warmer than the rest of the house (easily amended by switching on the aircon), however i couldn't be bothered at times as it was a portable one and required moving the hose to point outside.
