My sister and I stayed for a long weekend and had a brilliant time! The apartment is small but perfectly formed. It was very clean and has everything you need with a lovely mini balcony looking out on part of the square. The location is perfect, it takes about 25 minutes on the metro to colon and then another 15-20 minutes walk to the apartment. We arrived at 9pm and were met by Paola's friend who gave us keys. Plenty of restaurants nearby and some lovely shops. The ice cream shop almost below the flat is delicious and all cafes were brilliant at serving horchata and fartons! Grand central market is roughly a 10 minute walk away and worth going to. Hire bikes and cycle to the beach-it takes about 25 minutes and you follow the cycle path in the old river bed. Only negative was the cathedral chime every hour but you get used to it and don't even notice after a day. Will definitely be back.
