This spot is in a "real". non-touristy neighborhood, with a wonderful fresh market right across the street (as well as regular grocery). There is also a wonderful elevated walking promenade very close by for runners and walkers, and a choice of two different Metro stops within a block or two -- it was easy to reach the Fira convention center for business, as well as take a few stops to be in the heart of the sights. Lola, who used to live in the US, gave me a great overview with maps and advice on transit. Everything I needed. Would stay there again!
