I stayed for a month and it was perfect. The location is far enough not to be irritated by the buskers but provided easy access to the harbour, castle, market and restaurants - about 15 minutes walk.
Within 10 minutes, and on a route into the old centre, I would recommend Tranca, Calle Carretería, a Tapas bar popular with young professionals and well healed locals. Service is unusually at the bar.
I would particular recommend for people staying more than a few days, as it has a couple of supermarkets very close and many open all hours mini markets around.
The balcony with views of the castle and cathedral in the background made an ideal chill spot.
Attentive and helpful host. Thank you Pia ! I will be back !
