We enjoyed a wonderful three weeks at Daniel's apartment in Russafa and miss it already. His friend Yulia welcomed us and gave us lots of information. Daniel's handy booklet about the apartment and the area helped us to be able to move right in and feel at home instantly.
The space is exactly as shown in the photos except more spacious that expected. There are three effective modern heaters which came in handy for our January visit. The lively views out the front window on the street were beautiful and endlessly entertaining. There are some tapas bars downstairs but they always calmed down by late evening and we never had any issues with street noise.
Everything was sparkling clean, the bed was comfortable, the wifi was reliable, and the shower was nice and hot. We did several loads of laundry, and we cooked a number of full meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The supermarket just down the street had everything we needed. Most of all, we loved the Russafa neighbourhood and being able to so easily walk to hundreds of small bars and restaurants of every imaginable type. The locals in the restaurants and the neighbours in the building were all friendly to us and patient with our terrible attempts to speak Spanish. Be sure to visit the cozy little vegan cafe a few doors down on Calle de Puerto Rico.
We very much recommend Daniel's place for a good local experience in Russafa.
