The view from this apartment of the Central Market and Silk Exchange is wonderful. It was the best part of staying here. The windows and window shutters were excellent so if you don’t want to hear the activity on the plaza below the sound is blocked out. We loved the bustle of life around us, and still got a quiet night’s sleep. It is a market and you will hear trucks around 7 a.m., but the windows really do block most of the sound and the view is just so worth it, as is the access to a magnificent market with hundreds of vendor stalls and glorious stained glass cupolas. We stayed for two months and that view never got old. The windows let in a lot of light, which isn't always the case in Spain, particularly in the historic areas. The apartment itself is basic but functional, and very reasonably priced for the area. The location is excellent for exploring the historic centre and in easy walking distance to grocery stores, the metro and restaurants galore. The host was helpful and responded promptly. She was very gracious when we thought we had lost a set of keys.
