Alvaro's place was fantastic for our group of 8. It was a large space that appeared to be very recently renovated. All the furnishings and decor were really top notch. The location was right in the center of a pedestrian only street that got VERY busy with shoppers in the middle of the day. Things down on street level calmed down considerably at night though, so it wasn't disruptive. We found the walk to most sites to be manageable and there were lots of restaurants, bars and shopping in the immediate area as well.
