Pros: Apartment is convenient to so many of the places you would want to visit. It also is convenient to those places you may need to visit (grocery, laundromat, etc). The garden setting is pretty and peaceful and the neighborhood is clean and feels safe. Hostess lives next door and is friendly and helpful. Cons: Apartment furnishings are not tremendously comfortable Couch, chairs, table, bed, are functional but not very conducive to relaxing after a long day of walking around the city. Also, shower is awkwardly located in the kitchen and seems to have enough pressure to work only 50% of the time. Half of our showers were limited to the faucet because pressure was too low.
