I haven’t met Iris but her communication is great. Her friend Chiara helped with my check in late in the evening.
Airport is like 15min to the nearest metro station (centro- Alameda) + 9min walking to the flat.
I am a digital nomad, so my main concern was the Wifi connection, but it worked perfectly well.
The room is decent and spacious, and it has air conditioning.
If you want to cook your meals at the flat, you will have no issues as the kitchen is well equipped. (Supermarkets Aldi and Lidl are less than 5min from the apartment).
Malagueta beach is around 20min walking from the flat, and you can take a beach towel which will be available for you in the bathroom.
The access to the city centre is super easy and it takes less than 13min by foot to reach the bars and restaurants.
I went to a few places that were on Iris’ recommendation list. You should definitely go to Casa Lola Uncibay and try the “Torito Bravo” and “Bao Lola”.
The only disadvantage I would say was the shower that flooded when I took a little longer to wash my hair. But apart from that, everything went well.
Nice place and good value for money.
