Excellent location - within walking distance of morning coffee, a grocery store, restaurants overlooking the "water, and a wonderful market near a ceramics museum. We're not sure the apartment's location relative to any public transportation because we walked everywhere (we were there later in October and had great weather).
The place itself is fine, a bit tired, but maintained well enough. Good place for two couples. We didn't use the kitchen much - there wasn't a way to make coffee and there were no paper towels (we used cloth towels and napkins we picked up from coffee runs) - that was disappointing. Response to any questions was pretty immediate. They didn't have a user guide or book of things to see, restaurants, etc.which was ok because we pretty much knew what we wanted to do/see.
