Very warm welcoming hosts made it a pleasure to stay in such a tastefully restored and modernised building in a charming neighborhood. On arrival I discovered they gave me a much bigger apartment that the one I booked, so this review is for the "Studio in Red" in the same building. I like to cook, so the 4 ring gas burner and pots were much appreciated although I missed not having an oven, but most visitors probably eat out a lot of the time.
There are plenty of small shops and cafés, a couple of supermarkets, and it's not hard to find a taxi or take a short walk to a major road to get a bus to explore this fascinating city. This place is on my favourites list and definitely recommended.
