The neighbourhood is safe and quiet, but by no means feels deserted. All the necessary things are provided, towels, etc. There is no microwave, but the gas stove, pots and pans are available.
The best thing about this place is your hostess Alix. Although we did not meet in person she was super efficient, super friendly and made all necessary arrangements for her guests to feel welcomed. The most amazing thing is her online communication speed. It feels like she replies even before you hit the Send button!
