Proximity to the train and bus stations make this an ideal place to stay for a stopover. The self-check-in system works perfectly. The city centre is a 15 minute walk with a number of buses to the centre and eastern beaches just one street away. I stayed for a week in the med room. Although quite basic, the room was comfortable. Floors were a little dusty, but that's just a minor quibble. The room wasn't cleaned during my stay although bathrooms and kitchen were cleaned daily. The apartment is located on a quiet street. Unfortunately, there was a problem with noise from other guests. This is the main disadvantage of the host not living in the apartment. It's not much fun having to ask people to be quite at 4am. I didn't meet Francisco during the week but he responded quickly to any queries via email and was happy for me to leave my luggage in the apartment after checkout.
