The studio was very comfortable for my daughter and me on our recent trip. It's small but has everything including clothes and dishwasher. The place was clean, the beds comfortable, and the bath plumbing good-plenty of hot water with good temperature control-unlike too many places in Europe (in my experience). I couldn't figure out how to work the heater, though I like it cool so it didn't matter enough for me to ask for help. The location was particularly good for the major cultural sites and the neighborhood (barrio de letras-for the writers who lived there) is vibrant but quiet enough at night. Alejo and his sister who met us were kind and available. Alejo also has a nice little tapas bar around the corner now, which made for a laid-back and inexpensive meal following our late evening arrival. I highly recommend this place.
