Carmen and her daughter were so welcoming. I felt right at home. The bedroom is small but cozy and so clean. The bathroom is right next door— a pretty standard sized bathroom for Europe, long and narrow. I appreciated that the room and bathroom are located near the front door. It allows you to be totally independent and come and go as you please without feeling disruptive. All you need to do is follow the house rules: short showers, being mindful of not slamming doors, and try to stay quiet between midnight and 7 AM. A towel, shampoo, and soap are provided.
The apartment is right by Santa Justa—a 5 minute walk from where the airport bus drops you off. I could make it on foot anywhere I wanted to go in town and I never felt unsafe when walking alone at night anywhere nearby.
My Spanish is practically obsolete but I found it relatively easy to communicate with gestures and smiles or simply through the AirBnB chat so we could both translate the other’s messages.
Overall, a great experience.
Gracias per todo, Carmen!
