This was a relaxing place to stay. Although some buses go down the street I did not find it noisy and the bedrooms do not face the street. I found it quiet and peaceful and I slept well. The apartment is tidy, light, airy and spacious. My room had hanging space and its own bathroom. There was an iron, board, washing machine and airer to dry clothes. The roof terrace is superb for sunbathing, eating and relaxing and I used it every day. The apartment needs some cosmetic redecoration around the ceilings which did not affect me and which I understand is planned.

Colin was a quiet, pleasant and very easygoing host. He is well travelled and we had many interesting conversations. My castellano developed on a needs-must basis talking with locals so I could hardly imagine practising with a non native speaker when English was an option yet Colin persuaded me into having a natural conversation in my execrable Spanish where he quickly identified the structures I most needed. He is skilled at creating relaxing situations for both guest and Spanish student.
