This place is in the middle of a beautiful, energizing part of the city! Lots of bars and cafes, lots of shopping, lots of theaters, churches. There were dive bars, coffee shops, tapas bars, fancy restaurants. Boutique shops and big popular stores.... everything you could imagine! There are many bars nearby so it's not always quiet on the weekend nights, but the windows and shutters really help reduce noise to almost nothing. Overall great experience with a great host! We'd definitely come back!
