La's place is very close to city center and metro. From her house, city and beach are walkable. The apartment was what we thought it would be, very small Spanish style apartment. There's plenty room for a couple. There's a shared bathroom and the apartment is 3 stories up, (stairs.) La's 2 sons and dog are all very friendly:) There was only one problem and that is the noise. People in her neighborhood stay up until 1-2am during the weekdays and it can become hard to sleep. Overall, La and her family opened up their place to us and helped us with whatever we needed :)
