Paul's place was spacious and beautiful, and the co-host Maria was super helpful and responsive. The apartment itself is in a no-frills, cute older building with an inner courtyard. Quiet neighbors, super peaceful. One thing to keep in mind is that sound travels easily between bedrooms and from the living to the bedrooms, but this wasn't an issue for us. The immediate area was really nice and there was a bookshop/cafe on the corner across the street, including many delicious street food options nearby (just look for people huddled around carts eating their lunch to find them). We also had a decent and affordable breakfast at a place nearby called Jugos Alex, where coffee and a fresh juice of your choice are included with your meal. So many other places in walking distance such as Lardo, Café Guardatiempos (really cute old-timey coffee shop with surprisingly decent sandwiches and a sweet owner), and Parque España. We will definitely consider this apartment again the next time we visit.
