The apartment was exactly as described. Carlos (Alba's boyfriend) did a great job explaining the apartment and all its features when we arrived. The apartment was clean and new (especially the bathroom!). We enjoyed our experience and loved being situated on a square frequented by mostly locals.

The apartment is on the third floor, but there is a new lift in the building that takes you straight up. There is free laundry (washer is in the apartment and dryer is shared) and that was very much appreciated on our long trip!

Taking train from the airport was a cinch and the new train line was very clean and efficient. Using the buses was a very similar experience to Chicago (easy).
