The apartment is convenient -- on the first floor and near hotels where it was easy to catch a taxi. The apt was very clean and well provisioned. When I had a question, I texted Kate, and she got back to me quickly. Very responsive.. I felt safe in neighborhood - near convenience store and restaurants. Music late at night; might be a problem for a light sleeper. Since apt. is in older building, not as many electric outlets as usual; bring along extension cord. Plenty of towels and a hairdryer. Enjoy.
