The apartment is a bedsit type arrangement, small but has everything you need. It doesn't have air con but there's a high power fan and it's in a shady street so I found it comfortable. It's a little way out of the centre but easily walkable and buses are cheap and frequent (or you can brave the scooter hire craze!) - the circular buses drop you almost literally outside the apartment from the central rail station. The local area is nice to hang around and pop into places on an easy stroll into town. I felt very at home there and as a single independent traveller didn't want for anything. Communication was great. Local tips: check out: Bar Pepe just up the street (craft beers and good food); have a mooch at a few of the places on Calle Compas we la Victoria; on Plaza Victoria there's a rough looking place called Bar Pedroso, but don't be put off by outside appearance, it's really good tapas - go easy on the drinks - the guy doesn't know when to stop pouring; off calle Victoria on the way into town on a back street Calls Huerto del conde is a quirky bar called Las Camborias; Of the tapas places in town I like Casa Lola but it's insanely busy and loud; decent selection of cask beers at Arte & Sana on Plaza de la Merced.
