We stayed in Milagros's place mid September. It's a beautiful apartment in a gorgeous city, we had the best time!
Here are some details about out stay:
The good:
1. Very clean apartment, everything taken care of, sort of Spanish style (that's why we chose it, we wanted to full Spanish experience).
2. Close to the city center by foot, about 20 minutes away.
3. Even closer to Metro station, train station, supermarket, bars
4. Everything is right around the corner if you are just too lazy to go too far.
5. Milagros is the best host in the world! Highly responsive, polite, nice, very willing to solve everything and help her guests, still not intrusive or over present.
The bad:
1. There is a construction site and bar on the street. Make sure you bring ear plugs.
2. There is a crazy old lady living one floor below the apartment. Do not ring her doorbell by mistake or look suspicious trying to get in the building. She will try to murder you in Spanish!
3. The shower will just not stay on the hot setting. Great for reducing cellulite, not so great for water consumption. Maybe should have listed this one under 'good'?
The ugly:
1. I did mention the old lady, right?
Others:
There is a bar called La Flaca down a perpendicular street. Definitely go there, the drinks are huge. Amazing drinks! Do not eat the food, though. It is salty as hell and I promise it will give you diarrhea.
All in all, it was a great stay! Had a wonderful time. Many thanks to Milagros and Valencia :) <3
