We came in for a confrence and this home was centrally located, we'll cared for and with in walking distance to bars, restaurants and shops! It was well furnished. The only thing i would say is really pay attention to the ad. Steep stairs and steep hill to parking lot. Because of this, it may not be for everyone. We loved it!

Great location. We didn’t stay in the house other than sleeping because we were busy all day but loved the apartment’s character. Close to great restaurants and bars.
