Barbara's place is bright and luminous -- a top floor apartment with 2 balconies, it gets wonderful light throughout and feels even bigger than it is because of the long hallway separating the bedroom from the living area. It couldn't be better located -- just a few blocks from both Plaza Serrano and Plaza Italia, you can easily walk to great restaurants and connect to all forms of transportation (bus, subway), that will get you to any other part of the city that you'd like to visit. For families with kids, there are great plazas (Armenia with a carousel and Polo Científico with an amazing playground and great interactive children's museum) within a few blocks. Highly recommended.
