Ricardo's home places you next to terrific tapas bars, shopping, late night hangouts, subways, buses and walking distance to most major sites. On Sunday you step outside the apartment and enjoy the flea market that is so famous. There are many well-known bars on his street so you can end your evenings in your own neighborhood (but it is not noisy).
The apartment is nicely laid out. The bed is extremely comfortable, plenty of closet space, comfortable living room to relax in at the end of the day. If you enjoy a designer apartment you will be happy here.
Ricardo has prepared a solid list of eateries near him that are at comfortable prices. He is a very nice host, helpful but not in your way. This house is a great find.
