Most importantly, Lucia is just the most helpful, friendly host. Unfailingly cheerful and a mine of information. This is also a great place to stay if you want a central location. It's sort of midway between a hotel and a hostel. This means you get your own room but with shared facilities that included fabulously clean showers etc, a kitchen and a roof terrace. There really is no need to cook here however because there are about fifty places to eat within half a mile radius. The cafe opposite is fab too, very friendly, cheap and full of locals- best recommendation there is! Being central, you couldn't really call this a tranquil setting but if you want a glimpse of Spanish day to day life rather than a sanitised hotel and want to avoid sharing a dorm with snorers and people climbing in an out of their bunk at 2am, this place is great. Best place I've stayed at in this price range.
