Instead of a room in a hotel, we shall be staying in an apartment for the next couple of days. If you prefer looking after yourself then an apartment is a ideal but it’s a matter of personal choice.

Like hotels, apartments in a given price range can vary in quality and you never know what you are going to find until you arrive. This one is fairly comfortable and better than some we have experienced.

We were admitted by a housekeeper who showed us to our home away home on the second floor and handed us the key. The street door is kept locked and is opened by means of an electronic fob on the keyring.

The first task was to spy out the power points for our rechargers. There are enough and with our various cables we can arrange things nicely.

There is free wifi and I am already logged in so as to be able to post this!

The photos show two views of the living room which doubles as the dining room and trebles as the kitchen.
