This is a lovely apartment. At the time of our visit there was no microwave, so be prepared to cook on the stove or oven if you are into left-overs or ready-made meals. Or perhaps there will be a microwave in the future. It was great the there were a few items like sugar and coffee left for us to use - it was very helpful that we did not have to stock the whole kitchen for our visit. George is a lovely host and was very helpful on all fronts. Thanks again!
