Sara is a great host. She had her friend Alvaro meet me by the metro station and walk me over. Her English is but I most spoke Spanish to her. She is walking distance from the metro station. It is about a 20-25 minute metro ride to plaza mayor and costs 2€. The metro is not the best way to get to the airport if that is what you intend to do. You get a private bathroom. Overall great stay. As an anxious international traveler Sara made it very easy and does her best to help you get around as well. The area is very quiet, not as hectic as in the city. Walking distance from a running trail.
