The apartment is in an excellent location. There are several tapa bars, restaurants and grocery stores within a few feet of the apartment. The train station is a 15 minute walk with luggage. We did not use the metro as everything was within our walking distance. The apartment is on a small side street and very quiet; however it is somewhat darker than the pictures suggest. It is not ideal to open the curtains to let light in as it is a ground floor apartment and people walking by can look in. The apartment itself is spacious enough for two couples, plenty of hot water. Former guests were not as gentle with the apartment as we were. There is a broken mirror in the bedroom, the dishwashing machine is missing a door and walls need to be painted. However, the apartment itself was clean and comfortable. The next few comments are not criticisms but meant as a heads up for American guests. The amenities are very sparse. One towel per person, no washcloths, paper towels, coffee or tea provided. There is a washer but you must provide your own laundry detergent. Read the amenity list carefully. The host only provides exactly what is listed. Also, my fault for overlooking it- there is only a microwave- no oven. Overall we had a pleasant stay and a wonderful experience, I would recommend the apartment due to its excellent location and graciousness of the host.
