I stayed at this location for a month and some days (end Sept. - all of Oct.). I originally had reserved to a woman by the name of Irene and when I arrived, it turns out there was a change in host without notice (which was updated later during my stay). As well as some changes in amenities which were also updated during my stay. The only main complain I have was lack of communication or miscommunication.
The bad:
•It's on the fourth floor which means 5 flights up and a narrow space for luggage.
•Some humidity (probably lack of people not opening windows, esp. after shower/laundry).
The good:
•The location is very prime! You are in the heart of the center!
•The layout of the apartment is great for a long stay. It's very nicely designed, elegant & non-cluttered.
•The appliances are modern, however the cooktop was so modern, it was only compatible with certain types of pots. Not bad, but not really typical in the Americas so some of my cooking appliances wouldn't work.
•The fact that you're 5 flights up means low noise. Personally, I didn't have any issues with outside noise.
•You're among flamenco, restaurants, bars, plazas and even Biotin (the oldest restaurant in the world).
•I travelled by myself and the area felt safe. Everyone always warned me to hold onto my belongings, but I never encountered an issue.
•Several local supermarkets for a long stay.
•A block up is the bus stop to get around and also close to metro.
•Turned on the heater the last 2 days as it got chilly, it worked great!
•Raquel, who looks after the apartment, was a sweetheart and great source of reference!
Overall, great apartment to spend a short or long stay! Except for the minor miscommunications, I enjoyed my stay here!
