Silvia was a warm and thoughtful host. Not only is her place spotless and comfortable. It has absolutely everything one needs to feel at home. When I asked her about where to get a stamp to send a postcard she quickly went out in the neighborhood and bought me two. She even gave us a gift when we said goodbye. Her neighborhood is conveniently located and has a great bakery a block away which we visited daily for breads and pastries. There are also some tremendous tapas bars, restaurants and food market within a 10 minute walk. These local offerings absolutely satisfied our urge to live there as a temporary local.
