Place is as described. Extremely spacious and afforable. Within walking distance to outdoor activities, playgrounds, restaurants and shops. However, noise is an issue for both guests and other tenants in the building. You could hear the people upstairs whenever they walked or vacuumed or used a loud appliance. Likewise, the sound of children playing was frowned upon and we were warned to quiet down. But Joan is an excellent and pleasant communicator and our stay was great.
