We really enjoyed our time in Javier and Rik's apartment. Check-in was smooth and we were glad to be in such a great neighborhood with excellent bars and restaurants. On the first night, we didn't realize how great and convenient it was but it certainly is. The pedestrian zone one block away is full of goodies. We felt like the room was very clean and the outside terrace was a great perk. The building itself is full of character because it is from the late 19th century. I loved all the quirks, accents and built ins. Luckily, there is an elevator to get you up to the 5th floor, so that is good. Our hosts were very kind and welcoming and we felt right at home. They also were good at being available but not being obtrusive in any way. We really felt like we had the space to do as we pleased and plenty of privacy. I really recommend staying at their place and hope to do so myself again in the future. Thanks Javier and Rik!!
