The apartment is gorgeous, open and light with a nice breeze on hot days. I loved the nesting birds hiding in the plants on my balcony. Location was close to all you want to see and still quiet. You can walk to Retiro, the main bus and train station, and you can easily get everywhere else on the buses thst run past the door. Monika and Roberto are welcoming and generous with their home and make time to give you ideas and directions if you ever need. They know the best places to go and how. They also invited me to join them for dinner with their friends and Monika kindly did my washing! I was thoroughly spoilt. I can't recommend it enough. Thank you to both of you.
