The location is unbeatable, walking distance to all the amenities and restaurants yet still the apartment and area is very quiet at night. The hosts, Marlize and Andre, were super friendly and went out of their way to give restaurant recommendations, day excursions etc and to make us feel at home. The apartment has all that you need for both a short and longterm stay, with parking right in front of the unit. We had a really lovely stay and would recommend to our family and friends.
