This is the perfect getaway place! I came away feeling pampered, rejuvenated, and completely refreshed. I cannot recomend this place enough.
I stayed at Patricia's home for two nights while attending a professional conference -during an unseacsonable heat wave - and was completely comfortable. Patricia and her house were outstanding on all levels: price, comfort, location, ambiance, and personal attention to details - in terms of the situation and my own needs. The conference was at the Hotel Milia Castilia (onen block away) and for 3x the price you don't get half the class. Patricia's beautifully decorated home has everything you could want, and she made me completely welcome.
Her home is also conveniently located just near both the metro and the bus (I used both and they were great!) The building is completely secure with an outer gate to the main road and a further inner gate beyond the cool stone courtyard to gain entrance to the lift to her floor. Cold water, hot coffee, juice -whatever I wanted was there waiting for me, and the shower, ceiling fan, and breeze from the balcony were just what the weather called for after my tour round the city.
Let's see... any other little details... the bed was really comfy. It was really quiet there - my window was open all night and I heard nothing but the gentle breeze (and at one point I think there was someone singing a bit of Puccini in the distance). Breakfast was AMAZING! There were plenty of good books to read and... well, not enough time to soak it all in!
My only regret was that I only had 3 days/2 nights there, and I hope to remedy that and come back soon! Thank you, Patricia!!!
