Fantastic location, convenient and secure parking, cute garden level configuration. Unfortunately, the bathroom drainage pipes were emitting unpleasant sewage odors, enough to diminish the quality of our stay.

This neighborhood is wonderful, and to have a parking spot there is so helpful. But what's most impressive is the amount of detail put into the apartment itself: it has everything a couple could need. Very nice hosts, also.
