Nicolas was very helpful and accommodating. He met with us to show the apartment even after we were hours past our check-in date (we missed our transfer flight). He even carried my bag up the four flights of stairs! The apartment was just like how it appears- very clean and well stocked with everything you could need. He gave us a bottle of wine and a list of recommendations for the area. As for the location, it is near a number of tapas bars, cafes, supermarket and the metro station. I would recommend renting bikes or using the metro to get around.
