Mechys is a wonderful person, very sweet and welcoming and trying as hard to speak English as I'm trying to speak Spanish!;-) the place is located in a good area, very close to the subway, nice restaurants, a nice outlet centre for shopping freaks, but also there is a nice place for breakfast/good coffee, it's called 'le pain quotidien' inside the centre of Arcos, behind the red 'walls. However a few things you should know about the place: you will sleep in a loft, so the stairs are very steep, you need to be able to climd them up and down. Also in the night when you might have to go to the bathroom. There are two dogs, very sweet! Called 'Goulash and Indiana'. They made me feel very safe. However you obviously have to like dogs if you stay here. Furthermore because of the construction of the house you hear everything, it's not noisy at all (i slept very well there!), but you can hear it when someone is visiting or on a phonecall, but this is normal when you share a house. So, if you want a nice and affordable place in one of the best parts of this huge city: enjoy! Mechys: gracias para todo y hasta a Amsterdam!!
