Julio was warm and welcoming, and the apartment was clean and well-stocked with snacks. The flat is in a great location. Russafa is trendy and has a lot of cute bars and cafes. There is also a bus that goes to the beach that stops right in front of the apartment, which is very cheap (3 euros round trip) and convenient . The area is very quiet in August, which is perfect if you want a relaxing vacation. If you're looking for something a bit more lively during this time, I would look for a place in either the Old Town or along the beach.
