Eduardo’s place has been recently refurbished and it really shows. The apartment itself is quite stunning, with some real attention to detail and its style. There is a huge amount of space, with a large outside terrace too. The living room sofa is a sofa bed and there would be more than enough for space for a small group of you to stay here (we were only 2 so had lots of space)!
All amenities provided - towels, (very good) hairdryer, cooking facilities, tea, coffee etc and a huge fridge freezer. Everything was really clean and beautifully presented. The apartment also feels very safe and secure, with the neighbourhood also feeling very safe. There is a ‘mercado’ supermarket within 5 minutes walk, a bakery / cafe, butchers, grocery stores, a few bars and a great restaurant nearby too.
The location of the apartment was the best really as we were 10 minutes walk into the historic centre, where we went every day. This meant we could walk to the famous Central Market within 20 minutes and buy all of our food and drink for the day there!! Would really recommend the Central Market - the stalls are excellent, and the market itself is stunning.
We hired bikes from ‘Easy Way Cycle’ in the historic centre - there are many many bike hire companies so you can just look around for your choice of bike and how much you’d like to pay. We paid €6 for 24 hours!! We cycled all through the park, down to the Arts and Science area, which is definitely worth a visit.
Also the bus routes are very easy to use to get down to the beach, which we did on one day.
It is very easy to get to Eduardo’s apartment from the airport on the metro line and he meets you at the apartment, providing lots of information about the local area and things to do, showing you a map.
Would definitely recommend this apartment and would love to stay again!
