Claudio’s flat was great. As an American I didn’t do a lot of research into the area that it’s located (typical American mistake), so I didn’t realize that I would be staying in a very hilly and sometimes steep neighborhood. On a number of occasions, I would be out of breath when I got back to the flat, but his spot was fantastic and cool for me to rest and regain strength.
The area is bustling with people, so I would find myself sitting on the stairs outside or leaning out the patio drinking a Super Bock and watching all the activity. The windows are super secure and pretty much block out all the sounds of traffic and sometimes late night drunk westerners from below.
Across the street I enjoyed a delicious white Sangria on the corner with a plate of Iberian Pork. Up the street from the flat is Uncle George Cafe, where you can find delicious pastries and coffee.
If you’re a scooter fan, they don’t all make it to the flat before dying, however the e-bikes seem to do much better, performance wise.
All-in-all, I would stay here again. Even if it was just for a shower, that shower was amazing and the view of the sea while showering was beautiful.
