Great place in a quiet neighborhood. Even tho you are close to an avenue it is very quiet to sleep. Markets just across the street. Walking distance to the beach and the science district. About 5 blocks from the metro and from then just a few stops to the train station or the center. Jose and his girlfriend are really nice and will let you be on your own, giving you space or engage in conversation. I even got some tips as I am moving to Spain. Sadly I had to leave a few days before my stay was completed as I had to move to Madrid but overall a very nice stay. Definitely recommended.
