Álvaro’s place is in the beautiful neighborhood of La Latina. It is centrally located, convenient, and a very busy neighborhood full of bars and restaurants. However, the economic discrepancy between old residents and newcomers/tourists with resources is very much felt. We experienced an unfortunate event: One evening while we were sleeping someone came into the apartment through the window and took all the cash from my wallet. The building hosts mostly tourists, and the others in the area seem to be aware of this. After this incident Álvaro will be looking into providing extra security so that this type of incident will not happen in the future. Until this incident, we enjoyed our stay very much.
