This is a wonderful, charming, absolutely adorable apartment. We stayed for 6 days. We LOVED the neighborhood and felt like a local living here. Absolutely everything you could need is 5 minutes or less by walking. Traditional meat and fruit markets, grocery store akin to those in the USA, convenience shop, hair products store, pizza place, bar, other restaurants, everything yet it was very quiet at night and safe. Metro literally around the block (We chose to walk to the next one about 15 minutes away in Principie Pio for exercise). Cute small park at the end if the street but huge, beautiful, popular park on the river about 3 minutes walking. Principie Pio had more restaurants, larger supermarket, large indoor mall. Ana, Sara's neighbor greeted us and was so nice and helpful and showed us how to use European heating, stove, etc. It was very different than in the USA and we appreciated her walking us through it (especially that she told us in English - I speak no Spanish and would have been stumped!). Everyone we met was so kind and helpful. Sara and Ana were very responsive to questions and texts. Spanish language skills would be extremely useful for getting around the city - I am allergic to gluten and it would have been difficult/almost impossible for me to ask for gluten free restaurants and especially directions had my fiance not been able to speak Spanish. The pizza place right by the apartment offers gluten free pizza, and VIPS in the Principie Pio mall has a gluten free menu. We will absolutely be returning here in the future!
