Ines and Rafael were very kind and helpful hosts. They were immediately responsive to a few requests we made and did their best to add some items to the apartment that we asked for.
The apartment itself was very nice. The living room was quite light and spacious, and we were able to set up a computer in one of the bedrooms. The apartment also had two bathrooms which was a rare luxury. Everything was very clean, and the bed in the master bedroom was quite comfortable. The building itself seemed old and solid, which were positives for us. We also liked the central heat. Close to the apartment are several bus stops to use for getting around the city.
The only thing we did not like was the location. The apartment is situated on a busy, noisy street and there was a lot of street noise when the windows were open. Even though the location is conveniently close to the train station (where there is a good supermarket) and to the Mercado del Carmen, and also walking distance to the center, we did not find the neighborhood very appealing. This was a personal reaction, and probably not one that everyone would have.
