Great location. Attractive and comfortable home. However stairs were steep and circular so difficult to manage especially with luggage. We also had some difficulty managing key pad entry. The parking spot is very small and would be impossible with larger vehicles. I have a hatchback which fit. The host was very friendly and suitably responsive to inquiries.
