Brian's place is in a fantastic location if you want to be just slightly out of the way of the hustle and bustle, with beautiful views of the city and a quick metro ride into the mix of it all (seriously it's great! We were close to everything while getting more of a local vibe with the surroundings) We loved the pedestrian street filled with tapas bars and quant restaurants just a few steps away! His apartment is close to quite a few small grocery stores as well. The balcony and views were nearly our favorite part but Brian as a host takes the cake! He's open to chatting and helping with plans over a beer and also gave us our space when we needed to unwind. Brian is hilarious and hospitable and I would highly recommend his space. Looking forward to staying again next time we're in town!
