The apt was not ready initially due to housekeeper being delayed by local protest. We got the keys from Sergio who explained the situation and he gave us a tip to see the Sorolla museum which was close by and fantastic. When we returned, the place was spotless. It is a beautiful and roomy apt and the beds where extremely comfortable. It was pretty quiet but for a few times where we could hear neighbors. There are great places to eat and shop nearby. We tried to do some laundry and the machine went thru a whole cycle with no water. I messaged Sergio who told me he would find out why and that it worked perfectly but he never got back to us so we were unable to use the washing machine which was a bummer. It's a residential neighborhood in a beautiful area. It's a roomy place but the kitchen is tiny with room for only 1 person doing any preparation at a time. We didn't really mind though as we ate out. Recommend.
