Sergio's place is lovely and just as described online. Great patio with lots of sun later in the morning and all afternoon. On top floor, so it's quiet. Lots of stairs but there's a small lift. Lots of nice things in kitchen, from spices and oil to pasta and fruit--a lovely welcoming touch. Sergio and an English speaking friend came to meet us on Christmas day, introduced us to the place and made us feel welcome. As noted in other reviews, it's a good walk to the center (old town), but it's a 5 minute walk to the amazing park that runs through the city. The neighborhood lacks the charm of the center, though that also makes it much less touristy, and it still has plenty of shops for bread, fruit, etc.
