We enjoyed our stay and found Fernando to be a very good host. We were close to the river which was very nice walk along. It was 10 to 30 minute walk to most of the sites so we found the location was convenient for us as we like to walk around the cities we visit. The apartment is older but we found it to be clean and comfortable and enjoyed the extra bedrooms and bathroom. There are stairs before you get to the lift. Lifts are very small so with a party of 5 and luggage we used both lifts for luggage and the children ran the 6 flights of stairs. Not good for someone who's claustrophobic. We chose the extra space over more modern and super central and were very happy with our decision.
