In our view, it is so much better to stay in a residential neighborhood than a hotel along the highway. The apartment is located in walking distance to two bakeries(!) as well as restaurants and the lovely Piers Point Park. Inside is just as nice - clean and comfortable. We appreciated the special welcoming touches - a bowl of chocolates, granola bars, and bottled water in the fridge. Overall the kitchen is quite well-stocked with essentials that we didn't have to go out and buy - tea, cooking oil, basic spices and more. Close to public transport, though having a car really wasn't bad - we were able to park along the street following Vidal's instructions about parking regulations. We will be back!
