Carlos and Orinda were excellent hosts! Orinda met us early at the apartment, and allowed us to drop our bags so that we could begin our exploring as soon as we arrived. Communication was exceptionally good, and they arranged taxis for our daughters early departure one day, and for us the day of departure, which was a huge help! The apartment is very nice, with lots of balavony doors to open for a nice breeze. It is, as described, in a very lively area with lots of great cafes, a bakery, and great restaurants. The location is perfect for exploring the old town and all the sites, and we walked almost everywhere. However, cabs are very accessible at the front of the nearbyTorres de Serranos if you want to check out locations farther outside of the area. We really enjoyed our stay!
