I enjoyed my stay. The apartment was clean ,comfortable and spacious, I had a car so I was not aware of the restaurants and stores in the area. It did seem to me that it would be best to stay there if you have a car. I met Jil serendipitously, when she was working in her studio. She is absolutely delightful and engaging and her lampshades are a complete wonder. Of course, I had to buy one! Highly recommend.
