This is what Airbnb is all about. I felt like I was staying at a friend’s rich Aunt’s house. All the superlatives apply. Location, comfort, historic, entertaining.
Three bedrooms, each with its own shower, sleeps 6 comfortably. One room is tiny but has a closet and room in the hallway to put suitcases. The common area is very spacious and comfortable. The view out the French doors can keep you entertained for hours. Despite being in a very busy area it’s very quiet.
With some of these historic properties getting there is sometimes a challenge. There are two flights of stairs. They are wide and not super steep like you see in the Netherlands so ok for suitcases. The entrance is on a pedestrian street but if you leave before 10 am, you can load up on the Mercado de San Miguel side. If you need to move in or out on a Saturday like we did you need to carry your luggage a little further since the whole area is a pedestrian zone. It’s not bad. Knowing what to expect makes it much easier to deal with.
And did I mention that Mercado de San Miguel is so close you could eat every meal there? Jorge was very responsive, check in was a breeze, the washer and dryer work well, the kitchen is well equipped, the beds were comfortable. Nothing bad to say.
Rent this place. You will not be disappointed.
