There is a good amount of communal space for eating and sitting. This was the only place that we stayed at in Spain that had top sheets! It was some of the best sleep we had. Also the towels were as soft as clouds and she gave us 3 big things of bottled water. She capped it off with a few tips on how to get around the city (her house is less than 5 minutes from the main mercat). Very nice experience.
