We fell in love with Lavapies. Carlos's place is in a perfect location. The Metro station is a short walking distance in case you want to venture out further. Carlos made us feel welcome and made communication very easy. We loved that the market was right across the street. There are lots of little bakeries and coffee shops near by, Carlos provided a great reference book with all of his suggestions. There were 3 of us staying at the flat and we all felt very comfortable, beds and pillows were comfy too. Oh! and if your in the area on a Sunday, be sure to check out Rastro Market, its a short walk from the flat.
