Nice place
The home was older but well maintained and clean. Street was a bit busy but rooms had a hallway between them and street, therefore quiet...no problem sleeping. Air conditioning in every room. Beds comfortable. Location a short walk to a busier street where you could catch bus or taxi...we caught one at 6.30am to airport... a number or restaurant and stores close by. Private backyard/patio. Tram close by, convenient, ..easy to use...veronica, our hostess kindly provided us with a transit card. Hostess very nice.
The only thing that was missing was a washing machine but there is a wash tub in separate room so easy to rinse out cloths and hang them in sun or on a line in the garage. There is a laundromat close by but we didn't use it.
Coming from canada it was disconcerting to see all homes with big metal fences and barbed windows. However many very nice homes in the area, we certainly felt safe. There is a phone on the gate that connects to house so no one will come to the door. Lots of places to go for coffee and meals close by, even a large winery that gives tours. And god forbid you like McDonald's, there is one very close by. Lastly, veronica has a map of adjacent area showing location bakery, stores etc.
