First, and foremost, the apartment was clean. The photographs are accurate and Julia made us feel welcome. Upon arrival, she made sure to give us a tour of the apartment and informed us how things operated. She even provided traditional snacks and wine upon our arrival. The apartment can sleep eight, but six people would be more ideal since two of the bedrooms are rather small. We were two couples and the extra two bedrooms provided the extra space to spread out so we did not feel cramped. The patio area which is depicted in the photo was the perfect place to relax with some wine after a long day of sightseeing. Julia, who renovated this apartment, even had unexpected amenities available, including mobile telephones - just in case you had to make local calls or got lost and had to reach Julia.
The neighborhood is safe with some very nice tapa restaurants and other shops in the area. About five blocks away was the high end shopping area which our wives enjoyed - just doing window shopping. The old town area was not within easy walking distance, but the taxis are dependable, honest and reasonably price.
We would certainly recommend this apartment to other travelers.
