I picked this space largely because of the reviews (and the photos), and I'm so very glad I did! It was every bit the wonderful place I read about. Carlos was a wonderful, attentive host, and provided us with several tasty food recommendations the day we arrived. His flat was a fun mix of travel books and art. Truly eclectic. What surprised me most was how quiet this neighborhood is, much more so even than where I live. It was lovely waking to the sound of birds rising, and we felt safer than we do at home so much so that we had no trouble leaving the windows open to catch a lovely cross breeze and hear music at night while we wound down. Finally, Carlos and Mary ensured that we had a sparkling clean place to rest, much more so than the best hotels we've stayed in. We look forward to coming back here very soon!
