Well, Ruth has definitely set the bar very high! Just a beautifully decorated apartment in an off-the-street location. Quiet bedrooms with the windows closed. There can be some outside noise after a ball game or other celebrations, but with the windows closed there is no bother. Ruth has everything organized and met us for the check-in, going over everything and answering our questions. There are a lot of supplies in the kitchen and lots of cooking vessels, so it is easy to make whatever you want while there. The bus stop for the city center is an easy 5 minute walk and that was helpful. Also, getting out of the city via a car is fairly easy, as well. We drove down to the Border abbeys one day and it was a couple of miles down residence streets to an A road and soon we were on a major motorway. We loved the apartment and would absolutely stay there again. Thank you, Ruth!!
