Everything about Alvaro's apartment suited us down to the ground. There was a lot of basic food items in the cupboards, so we had the opportunity to cook a lot; there was a sound system so we could enjoy music and if you like a firm mattress to sleep on, you will find it here. In addition, the apartment really is a cozy and private place to stay, where we definitely felt at home.
Small touches, such as playing some beautiful classical music and lighting candles for our arrival, also went that extra bit further in making us feel welcome - thank you.
