Cristina and her friend Yamilia did a wonderful job of making us feel at home and were also very helpful with other miscellaneous necessities (calling us a taxi to take us to the airport on departure). The duplex was very nice and spacious, clean, charming, outfitted with everything we needed, with comfortable beds and a very nice kitchen (with an induction cooktop!). The property is older and there was some remodeling noise for a few hours from the neighboring apartment, which we could hear through what seemed to be a shared skylight, but it was very brief and not a concern (unless noise privacy is a very high priority, which it wasn't for us). We didn't even use the third bedroom with bunk beds, but it would be ideal for a family. The metro was close enough, and the bakery just downstairs, together with the grocery store literally across the street, were a wonderful convenience. We went nearly everywhere by metro, and the location was central enough that at the end of the day, if we were too tired to make our way back by metro, an easy cab ride back to the apartment never exceeded 8 euros (which would've been the cost of the metro for all four of us anyway). Overall, the apartment was a nice, comfortable bargain for family travel - not the most modern, but charming and fully met our needs.
