Oscar's place was perfect for a young adventurous couple. It was a minute's walk from the Alameda de Hercules, which was teeming with life. The neighborhood is homey and cozy. And safe! We loved it because we prefer places that aren't just for the tourists (even if we were tourists!) If you stay, walk around the corner to the local market and spend the afternoon at La Cantina - get drinks and amazing fresh fish tapas. We promise, you will have a blast.
It's also great because it is far enough away from the tourist district to be less expensive yet close enough to walk to all the sites.
Oscar was accommodating and lovely. He was kind enough to sit down with us and give us a map and all kinds of recommendations.
Go! Now!
