Wonderful location. The steps and the incline (not really a hill) to reach the apartment were not a problem and are worth it for the spectacular views, and also for the much-needed breeze that flows through the apartment. The house next door is undergoing renovations and this did impinge on the `peaceful` aspect of the stay. Work began very early and was very loud. This is not at all a problem that Judy has control over - but it looks as though the renovation is a big project and might be worth knowing. It did mean we had to vacate the apartment much, much earlier each day than we usually would, and we could not enjoy the wonderful balcony because of the noise and the closeness of the workers. Whilst this does not and should not detract from the apartment, its location and Judy as a host - we might have reconsidered booking had we known it would impact our activities and use of the apartment and might be useful information to have.
