Maria was a great host! Her parents met us at the taxi stand and walked us over to the apartment and oriented us with everything. She had left us coffee, milk, juice and muffins... a thoughtful touch!
The views from the apartment are fantastic, and it is quite spacious for a European flat. Listening to the street sounds and the performers each afternoon and night was a highlight of our trip.
The apartment sits above a busy street and a gift shop. That said, when the windows and doors were closed it was very quiet and relaxing.
The location is great! You are around the corner from the cathedral on your left and steps to Las Sierpes (a shopping district and corridor to lots of a great restaurants) on your right.
