Claudia was a very responsive and welcoming host. The apartment itself was if anything better than the photos and listing. We loved the light shining through large windows, cozy spaces, many small thoughtful touches and views of the adjacent garden nursery. The area is not at all touristy, and this was a welcome contrast to an imagined stay in the middle of Old Town. The Botanic Gardens and apartment are set quite apart from the center of the city. This may not be for everyone, but public transit is readily available and we mostly preferred to walk the twenty five minutes when traveling to sites, exploring an enjoyable variety of routes in the process. My only complaint is that we didn't stay longer. I highly recommend both Claudia and her garden apartment.
