We had a wonderful stay in this timeless place. There are secluded leafy courtyards with a fountain playing, lights in the trees, comfortable seating and visits from friendly pets. The apartment is beautifully renovated, looking out on two sides on two inner courtyards so very quiet. We had everything we needed including lots of water in the fridge, toiletries and instructions. I would say that the spiral staircase is narrow and only for the able bodied. Bret is a kind, responsive host, who is happy to chat - often accompanied by Ernie the Parrot. The neighbourhood is great - quiet but walking or short uber distance from everything. I wish we could have stayed longer, and we will be back.
