What was provided went much beyond our expectations. The bedroom itself is fairly small but we had full access to two roof terraces and a small swimming pool on the same level and private use of a bathroom with shower. There was also a refrigerator, sink and washing machine. All of these were occasionally shared with the family (for instance to wash and dry laundry from time to time) but that was no problem to us since we were made to feel so very welcome. One terrace had a table and chairs and we ate there at least twice a day. The other terrace, opening straight off the bedroom, had two low chairs to recline in and a small table. Outdoor shade was always available somewhere - and was necessary because, even in May, temperatures were in the high 30s. The location is excellent, being inside the historic (2000+ years) heart of the city but outside the busiest tourist area. José María was keen for us to appreciate the huge number of historic and aesthetic treasures in the local area and provided an unusual amount of information, both written and by personally guiding us around. He also cooked us delicious examples of local food.
There is a reasonably frequent bus service that connects into the city-wide bus network. A renewable tourist pass (available in 1 or 3 day units) is highly recommended, though route planning needs to be done quite carefully. The city has very few direction signs (hotels are often indicated but not churches, monuments or museums) and all the maps seem to be oriented in different directions so it is easy to get lost. A smartphone equipped with Google Maps (or equivalent) is very useful but will not stop you from getting lost. The plus side is that every time we did, we stumbled upon something fascinating that we would otherwise have missed.
