Our hosts, Javier and his mother, Pilar, greeted us upon our arrival and immediately made us feel welcome. After showing us the apartment, Javier even joined us for coffee at a nearby cafe ("Harina"--highly recommended, btw!) and impressed us with his English skill, knowledge of the surrounding neighborhoods, and warm personality.
The apartment was clean and cozy and had a very nice bed, well-equipped kitchen, and an amazing shower. The map and the information Javier gave us about the nearby neighborhoods proved extremely helpful as well. From the apartment you can easily walk to any of the significant cultural sites and a seemingly endless array of cafes, bars, and stores.
Even though we checked out at 8:00 am in the morning, Javier's mother was there to say goodbye--and to make sure we hadn't forgotten anything!
Of the many airbnb experiences we've had, this was easily one of the very best. If you're looking for a great location, super nice apartment, and awesome hosts, you will get all three with this airbnb. Highly recommended!
