If you are looking for a functioning place to stay, and are tired of the cookie-cutter Ikea furnished apartments, you will love this place. It is in an older building with lots of wood throughout and is well-designed to be comfortable and functional, but also has the creaks of an old house. There are plenty of fans and heaters provided, but if you open the windows in the evening and close during the day when you are out, the house regulates itself nicely (unlike other places we have stayed in the city which can become stifling). The rooftop garden was pleasant, but my favorite place to sit was near the dining table, with the balcony door open and watch the activity on the tree-shaded street. The kitchen is small, but has most things you will need, including a water filter. The mattresses are new. The shower was hot enough-seemed to be hotter in the afternoons. This is a real house with real neighbors in the adjacent flats. We found them all to be friendly and open, especially the cats ("Nieve" is the chatty one who likes to talk to you from outside the window while you prepare dinner). The place is set up for 5 or 6 people, for our stay it was only the two of us. We had to move to another apartment at the end of our trip because this one wasn't available, and this one was definitely better!
