I had a lovely two weeks in Belen and Anton's place. It's in a great location, right in the centre of things, with cafes on every corner, supermarkets and a lovely market just a few minutes away. It's a nice stroll into the centre of the old town, another pleasant stroll along to the green riverbed park, a slightly longer walk to the Botanical Gardens, but a lot of the time, I just walked around Russafa itself, and loved it. While I was there it was Carnival, which came as a complete surprise to me, with bands and processions passing right in front of the flat - very exciting! (If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is probably not the place for you - though watching, and listening, to the birds darting in and out of the trees just below the window was another simple pleasure.) I hope to go back!
