Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood. Wide variety of cheeses, meats, pastries, fruit, yogurt, eggs, etc. for breakfast. Very filling. Everything was walkable and no need for Uber or public transportation. Bike rental was appreciated. Great stay for our family of four. Highly recommend.

Excellent apartment that is spacious and location close to main attractions. One small quibble is we found some utensils in the kitchen that were not clean. Toilets were low on toilet paper, but the apartment management promptly delivered them in the morning.
