This place is amazing. The view is excellent from the windows that run across the entire wall. Mr. Francisco and his family were wonderful checking us in and making sure we had all the information to make the stay wonderful. It is an easy 5 minute walk to the metro which has 2 lines, both take you just about anywhere downtown you want to go. We (2 females) felt very safe walking around there or coming back late on the nights we were out. There are several shops nearby to get bread, pastries, fruit, cheese, or meat. I highly suggest the cheese shop not far from the flat. All the bread/pastry shops were great (we tried all three a couple times each). Most of the shop owners speak at least a little English, and we had no problems ordering what we wanted. All in all a great week and would love to stay again.
