My wife and I had a great stay at Alberto’s place. He was unable to meet us on the day we arrived but still got the key to us for an easy check in and left lots of helpful information in the flat. He even offered to come see us when he wasn’t in work which was very thoughtful of him.
The flat is exactly as pictured, spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need. Fantastic power shower and we really enjoyed just sitting there in the evening, it’s very comfortable and furnished beautifully.
The area seems to be a buzzing residential spot. Just at the end of the street is a massive terrace lined with cafes and bars which is full of local families and their pet dogs. It has a nice atmosphere and we felt perfectly safe walking there at night and through the city in general.
It took us about half an hour to walk into the heart of the old city from the apartment, but even in the scorching heat (in October!!) my pregnant wife managed it back and forward every day and I don’t think that should be a problem for other travellers. We have seen plenty of taxis coming down the street Alberto’s apartment is on, flagging one down shouldn’t be a problem if you want to get about quickly.
All in all can highly recommend, thanks Alberto!
