Thamara hosted me very last minute. Due to change of travel plans, I needed somewhere to stay for 2 nights before my flight home, and Thamara's responded to my request immediately with a warm and welcoming reply. The flat is bright and has a nice, convivial atmosphere with Thamara's other 2 longer term guests as well. It is a little bit further out from the centre, but what's amazing is you have the big train station at the end of the street. Also after the expense of staying in the centre, I enjoyed just being able to go to normal supermarkets and non-tourist cafes - and, not only that, but staying at Thamara's was a a very affordable rate. I loved the beautiful touches around Thamara's home such as all her plants on the stairwell and balcony. The memory I'll take away is her placing beautiful bright red flowers in a vase and pointing out to me her pictures of Frida Kahlo amongst all her plants.
