The apartment was just what we wanted. Clean, good accessories, well laid out with comfortable beds. We enjoyed breakfast and evening drinks and tapas on the sunny terrace. There is A/C in the living room, but not in the bedrooms. In June it wasn’t a problem as the nights cool down.
Although there were most of the essential basics such as salt, pepper, olive oil, etc, we missed out on sugar and water. We did our shopping at the local Dia supermarket but were surprised when we went back to buy sugar at 21:30 to find that it was closed for the weekend.
There was no information about local services such as recommended restaurants and bars, although there are plenty in the neigbourhood. There was a drawer full of brochures left by previous guests. The Dia supermarket is just a couple of blocks away, but beware, it closes on Sundays.
The flat is well located for the city centre. A fifteen-minute walk down Calle Victoria brings you to Plaza de la Merced. There’s even a handy bus (No. 1) if you don’t feel like walking.
If you have a car you may have to drive around quite a while to snag a place to park. Hopefully if you have a small car it will fit into tiny spaces.
