We loved this location and the neighborhood. Everything is walkable and the people friendly and helpful. Friday afternoon we followed the sounds of lively music nearby and discovered what we would call a block party in the U.S. Wish we had seen the paella preparation in a paella pan that must have been 4' across.
While the furnishings in this apartment are modest, the space is very comfortable and feels quite homey, as if staying in an older relative's apartment. The kitchen has been remodeled and is pretty well furnished (I would have appreciated a couple more larger coffee/tea mugs). High marks for cleanliness, too.
There's a palpable sense of history in the building and the apartment. (We believe Maria Victoria told us she was born in the apartment, but aren't entirely sure what she was saying, since we understand only traveler's Spanish.) English communication with Marc was quite clear and reliable. All in all, great value.
