It was a great stay at Rafa’s pad.
The apartment is located in the older part of the city, it’s out of the more tourist populated areas but still within easy reach to the CBD. Within a minutes walk from the apartment there are any number of small shops: tapas bars, chemist, health food store, hairdresser, bakery, fruit shop, fish shop, butcher, general store etc. Basically all you should need except an occasional visit to the supermarket which is still not too far.
The apartment is on the second level, it’s generally quite (some occasional street noise but not very noticeable) and has all the facilities one or two people should require including air con. It’s well equipped with good kitchen facilities and basic cooking ingredients.
Rafa is wonderful host who makes one feel as though they are very welcome and periodically keeps in touch to ensure all is okay (he is always responsive if any queries). Moreover, I received some very good advice on events that were about to happen plus he’s well tuned into what’s taking place, especially flamenco performances and venues.
Overall, a high recommendation.
