Beatriz is a very kind yet unobtrusive host. The apartment was very attractive and sunny, and situated in an interesting neighbourhood. It was just a few minutes from Plaza de la Alfalfa; we did our shopping at the small supermarket there and had very nice coffee and cake a few times at the bakery next door.
The kitchenette at the apartment was very well equipped. We made our own breakfast each morning and dinner one night during our six night stay.
It is easy to walk to the main tourist spots, but we found the little C5 community bus convenient too, and a great way to experience the small lanes!
