tapas and flamenco, tapas and flamenco... we spent a week in cristina's apt, immersing ourselves in the local scene and it was just perfect! the apt is even better than it appears in the photos, nicely decorated without too much clutter. it was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed.

the neighborhood is really lively with cool bars, restaurants, shops and a fantastic market. it is just a couple of blocks from alameda de hercules, which is lined with places to sit and have a drink, eat tapas and watch real life unfold.

communication with cristina was great. she was very patient with my poor spanish, and she was responsive whenever i had a question. it was a lovely week spent living like a local, and we can't wait to go back!
