Silvia was a perfect hostess, greeting me with a large bottle of cold water and a quick tour of her comfortable home in a great neighborhood near the central market. With a variety of little cafés and shops steps away, several of the "must see" plazas, cathedrals, and museums a short walk away, the warren of fascinating little streets in the old city of which you are a part, you immediately feel transported into the charm of traditional Spanish city life.
A word of warning to light sleepers, though. With 3 cafés right below your 1st floor window (which must remain open at night for air), there is a lot of noise until after midnight, and then about 2 AM when the garbage collectors come by to empty the large bins outside with a great deal of clatter, you WILL wake up again. For me, the pleasant home and great location outweighed the lack of sleep, but for some, it might be a bit too much.
