a superb location for st nick's market and people watching, day and night, from the lovely bay window, it is a noisy street but Helen does tell you this. lots of really good places to eat in or take away on the doorstep. the beds are super comfy, excellent wifi. the entrance at street level is a little dismal, but once you reach the apartment it is bright and spotlessy clean. the area felt friendly and really safe both day and night. easy to get to all the sights, on foot or by ferry boat......anne
