We really had a super time staying in Alvaro's apartment. It was in a fab location right near a Metro stop, nicely decorated and had plenty of space. We appreciated the two lovely bathrooms and loads of storage space for our luggage and clothes. The kitchen (not that we used it very much since there were so many great restaurants around!) was very well appointed and had a washing machine too. Even though there is no balcony or view, there is plenty of light and lots of windows. We were also very thankful for the early check-in and easy communication. Great place!
