Vera’s apartment is in a good safe location, short distance by car to downtown and walking distance to restaurant and bars (although we didn’t try them). Great for couples and young children. Not quite so good for sharers as the bathroom is off the bedroom, so doesn’t have independent access for those using sofa bed. But we muddled through. Wash machine and dryer are communal to block and $1.50 each so make sure you have change with you. They work well and quickly.
