Bottom line: we had a wonderful stay at Alberto's!
The alley stinks a little of urine, the stairway of the house is scary and when you knock on the door two dogs start barking. We were almost going to just walk away and look for somewhere else to sleep. We didn't. And I'm glad we didn't. The apartment is very nice. Everything is very clean, the kitchen has everything you might need, the sheets smelled clean, the dogs were only allowed in Alberto's room, thr location is just perfect. In the middle of everything so everywhere you might want to go is in a walking distance. And most importantly, Alberto was a great host. He told us where to go, what to see, where to eat (amazing food), what to avoid and what to take care of. Couldn't have been better! Just don't let the entrance scare you off :)
