A word of caution on airbnb in the winter- make sure they have good heating available. Same thing for hotels. It doesn't get super cold, but the temp inside is not much warmer than the temp outside. Older places also tend to have more humidity.
Trust me, you will prefer to take transport to get to everything. Metro/tram/bus but also taxi/Uber. Much easier than dealing with traffic on your own, finding parking, or finding your way through a maze of one-way streets. Taxis and Uber are cheap and plentiful.
Tram 28 is a definite 'must do'. Other than that I agree - cabs and uber and cabify (a competitor) are cheap and good.
