First of all, you cannot go wrong with Martin's lovely apartment. It is located in the back of a courtyard which made it quiet yet close to all the Lavapies action. The neighborhood is vibrant and fun, and it's easy walking distance to many attractions as well as the Atocha station. The apartment immediately felt like home...well equipped, comfortable and clean. The bed is great and the shower water pressure is sooooo nice.
I think the best part of being here is Martin himself. He is gracious, accommodating and immediately available. He gave us many good recommendations before and during our stay. Martin really makes this place special... hosts like him make Airbnb so much better than any hotel.
I also have to mention that Manolo, the sweetest cat in all of Europe, hangs out in the courtyard.
