Pals is an ideal location from which to venture out and discover the surrounding environs. The house is spacious and has a pleasant wrap-around balcony which overlooks a small patio and tiled rooftops. There is a washing machine and clothes liner outside. It is on a quiet, charming street (the whole town is very tranquil). Our only complaint was that it was incredibly hot (we were there in August, when the temperature got brutal). There was a fan in every room and that helped, but without AC we did suffer some long, hot nights. Irene and her mother, Isabel (who helps manage the house), were delightful and super helpful all around.
