The apartment itself is honestly wonderful. It was immaculate and plenty of space for me and my husband. The location couldn't be better - so close to the Cathedral and Alcazar, you're there within minutes. The host, Gema, was absolutely fantastic, giving us lots of tips and information, and responding to messages literally instantly. She did everything in her power to make our stay and check-in easy and enjoyable. We arrived several hours before check-in thanks to our red-eye flight, and we were able to stow our bags at the hostel down the street. Extremely accommodating and lovely people.

The reason for my 3-star rating instead of 5, is that we had significant trouble with noise. There must be a club nearby behind the place, because between the hours of midnight and 7am, we heard a persistent bass line coming through the bedroom and bathroom walls. We tried a white noise app and earplugs, but there was no blocking it out. As a result, we barely slept the two nights.

We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night, so maybe this is just a weekend thing. And we are admittedly pretty sensitive to noise when sleeping. This may not be an issue for others (I don't recall seeing this mentioned in other reviews, after all), but if you are a light sleeper this could potentially be problematic.

Everything else was literally perfect. If you're a good sleeper, I would recommend it. But it just happened to not be right for us!
