Lola is a very warm, affable host. I liked staying at her apartment because it felt like staying at home. Lola is often at home, working, cooking, hanging out with her little dog Lolo and her teenaged son Mario, so she is available for help and suggestions about things to do in the city. The apartment is located in the awesome Lavapies neighborhood, which is close to Reina Sofia, the Prado, and many other sites. It's close to Calle Argumentosa, which has many fun bars/restaurants to stop at in the evening.
