Alberto was a gracious host, and if you are an opera aficianado, this is your perfect place. The room and bed were comfortable, and although on the edge of the old town pedestrian district, it is an easy walk.
The neighborhood is decidedly working class, but everyone was pleasant, and we always felt safe in the streets ... the Policia de Ciudad are just around the corner, so that may be an influence!
There are a couple of nice bars along the river, one being the police hang-out, and a very nice panaderia breakfast cafe' a couple of blocks further toward old town.
