This apartment was exactly what I needed for 8 days of both relaxing and working. The view onto the hill of Gibralfaro is so lovely and quiet and the light throughout the late morning (I was there in February) was beautiful. The apartment building was also pretty quiet as I had to take some calls and work for a few days and had no issues. The location was ideal for me getting everywhere on foot. A few minutes down the road and you are in Plaza de la Merced. Juan recommended some routes for long walks/runs and I had a great time exploring nearby San Anton hills. He also recommended several great restaurants and provided more than enough information on the surroundings. Can't wait to return next winter : )
