Excellent apartment (Sol) in a great neighbourhood, with really good transport links and a range of dining options at all prices, as well as good food and wine shops if you wanted to stay in. The whole booking process was very professionally handled by the excellent Rahel from beginning to end. Great customer service. Would stay here again without hesitation.
