We loved this apartment and it was in the best area of the city! Easy check in with the doorman (even with our poor spanish). Beautiful, clean, bright, comfortable apartment that was perfect for 3 people (couple plus grown son). Comfortable beds, good showers (loved having 2 full bathrooms) nice living/dining area. Didn't use the kitchen since it was so convenient to go out for our meals. Loved Bar National for lunch and dinner. Great coffee and apple crumbles at Juan Valdez. Loved having laundry room in basement with full size washers and driers. I cleaned all our clothes and was set for the rest of our trip. Need to get coins for the machines but the local restaurants helped us out. We enjoyed the pool one day- small but clean and only one other person there so it was great. Very quiet and relaxing. We never met the host because of our different schedules but communicated with her easily and often over Whats app. She was helpful with suggestions.We even took the red double decker tour bus (which we never do) and it was a great way to get an overview of the city. Would definitely come back here!
