Gary always responded to my many pre-booking questions quickly and that responsiveness continued during our stay. The apartment was a separate part of a larger residence. We didn't see anyone else during our stay (which was fine by us). Getting our roller luggage to the apartment was tricky -I'm not sure if you can tell by the pictures, but the walkway to the entrance is unpaved stone. We were able to lift our heavy bag, but for those with mobility issues or overly heavy luggage it would be extremely difficult. The apartment itself was spacious and simply furnished. It had everything we needed. The bed was firm and the pillows were thin (too firm and thin for me, but that might suit you). The views from the back porch were nice and it was very quiet and relaxing. The the hills in the neighborhood made for urban hiking with gorgeous views. Aside from the views, the neighborhood is lacking in amenities. Restaurants, stores, and the like are a mile and a half down the hill, so it's best to have a vehicle. All in all, it was a good resting spot.
