The house is very clean, welcoming, and there is access to everything you'll need. I especially appreciated having washing machines accessible! There are a few markets within walking distance, but the location is a bit far from night life, if that's your preference. It is about a 12 minute walk from Sta. Apolonia on the blue line, but the walk from the house to the metro is a lot quicker walking downhill. Alex is a great host and communicates well.
