The location is in close proximity to the cathedral and Alcázar and was easy to get around on foot. there was parking nearby about 7 mins on foot. Manuel provided excellent directions and many recommendations for food and local attractions.
Unfortunately, the apartment is sweltering hot and the small air-conditioning unit in the living room / kitchen was not nearly sufficient. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable, the shower was cold even with only the hot water running. while the location is great during the day, it was obnoxiously loud until 2am from people yelling and singing in the streets (even on a Monday night).
if you don't mind the noise or a cold shower and don't plan to use the sofa bed, I'd recommend it simply for the location and Manuel's hospitality / communication. He was a great host but the apartment fell short of my expectations.
