We had a great stay at Helen and Simon's place! Helen was flexible with our arrival time and when we showed up, Simon gave us great tips about the best local sites. The apartment itself was light, airy, and quiet. There were plenty of restaurants within a few blocks, and even a playground for our daughter at the end of the block. We were only there for three days, but with the central location we managed to fit in a wide range of activities: beaches, concerts, gardens, and shopping.
