What a great place! We had a wonderful time. The apartment was very comfortable and clean and met all our needs and the location was absolutely perfect for us. The restaurant across the street, Huerta y Caldero, is run by a delightful, friendly couple who serve delicious tapas and other platos típicos. Up the block is La Colmada, an usual, modern shop selling all types of rices, spices, beans, etc. A block a way you can find a place to eat great fresh, right-out-of-the-pot churros, and a few minutes walk brings you to a beautiful, modern library full of events, and, of course, El Retiro, where it is located. We will return.
