Isabel greeted us upon arrival. She is so friendly and inviting we felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. She was always available by text for any and all questions. We rented there for a full month and came and went to other destinations. We always felt safe and even found the neighbors to be friendly. The apartment is compact yet very clean, organized and has many nice little touches such as a cappuccino or espresso machine for morning coffee. There are two large doors allowing a lot of light into the apartment even though you are in an alleyway. As mentioned in other reviews, cooking with more than one burner at a time or oven and burner cause the breaker to switch off. Unless you plan on doing a lot of cooking, we did some, I wouldn’t let it keep you from staying here. The great part about the location is it’s quiet and you’re walking distance to most all spots of interest. There is a great market when you turn right out of the alley and left up the hill. We found the pastries and breads to be as good as many bakeries and cafés and a large variety of everything European and then some. We recommend the little restaurant one door (with carrots painted on it) away for lunch. Ana, the owner, runs a quaint deliciously elegant menu at a very reasonable price. It’s a little hidden gem full of locals.
We most definitely would stay at Isabel’s apartment again and would loved to have stayed even longer!! Isabel is the kind of host one hopes for!
