Ivan & Mery were SUPER hospitable to us and also a lovely couple. Our Spanish isn't very good but Ivan also speaks English well (and Italian fluently also). We stayed there for 3 weeks and during that time we were very happy with the apartment. Their apartment is very clean, modern and comfortable. The location in Patraix is great because it's only a 30 second walk to the metro but it's on a quiet street so there isn't city noise. There are nice local restaurants, supermarkets, fruit/vegetable stores nearby and some cafes and green areas/parks. Patraix is a nice working class suburb with a mix of people who are all very friendly even though our Spanish was very limited. We commend Ivan & Mery on their hospitality and the friendship and local advice they extended to us. Very happy!
