The place has obviously been furnished with enormous care, and it was fun to discover the details. It's lovely, too, to have emergency sundries (lotion, apple juice, slippers) on hand. Ron was kind and gracious and generous the few times we met in person. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, and basics like oil and salt are available.

The main drawback of the place for me was that there was no open surface to work at comfortably -- nice counters, but no easy-to-use table. And the space is probably too tight for three adults to get around comfortably.

The neighborhood grew on me the longer I stayed, but I'd suggest that women traveling alone without a car plan to arrive in daylight the first time. There are no proper grocery stores, only convenience stores, within walking distance.

The apartment is probably ideal for a couple on vacation with a car.
