The host was very accommodating, accepting my stay and letting me check in with just a few hours notice. The apartment is spacious (more so that it appears in the pictures), the bed is comfortable, and the hot water is abundant. There were a few minor maintenance issues that will hopefully be addressed before the next guest's arrival. The kitchen is barely adequate; the dishwasher is so small that most of the dishes will not fit in it, there is only one coffee mug, etc.. Though the apartment is on the second floor, there is no street noise. It is very quiet, except for a strange noise from a neighbor, which sounds like furniture being dragged around 3-5 times per night at two hour intervals. The host tenaciously tried to resolve the issue, but it persisted, despite her best efforts. The A/C is powerful and cools the space quickly; though the apartment gets abnormally hot. Usually Spanish flats are designed to stay cooler than the outdoors. This place is usually significantly warmer than it is outside. This would be a benefit in the winter, but not in the summer.
