Although Paula’s place was small and a bit of a climb it was worth it for the great views, light, and cross ventilation. It was also very quiet. The apartment was clean and it was nice to have the terrace directly across the hall. And the location was very convenient - about a 15 minute walk from the Atocha train station, close to restaurants, a supermarket, patisseries and the Prado. Also a great gourmet take out shop across the street - El Cielo.
The hallways and entry could use a coat of fresh paint but that seemed like that was getting underway as we were leaving.
