We’ve had a great stay at Al’s place. The location was super convenient within walking distance to all main tourist spots and within a trendy “hipster” area with lots of nightlife, quirky shops and great modern or traditional tapas bars and restaurants. We prefer the traditional Spanish cuisine and the area didn’t disappoint with lots of lovely tapas bars, but for those who prefer a modern twist, there was plenty of choice literally around every corner.
The apartment is as seen on pictures so very cool, with good WiFi, fully stocked kitchen / fridge and wine on arrival :-) So it was nice not having to worry about going to a supermarket to buy the essentials on our first day as everything was there. And coffee and croissants worked a treat in the mornings :-)
Al is a very friendly guy, keen to make sure you feel at home and that you enjoy your stay. We asked for recommendations of places to eat and drink and he gave us a map and marked his favourite places! Our particular favourite was a very traditional little Spanish bar - Bodega de la Ardosa which was just down the road. They served vermouth on tap and amazing Spanish omelettes / tortillas.
Can definitely recommend Al and his apartment! Thanks for a great stay! :-)
