If there were an "above and beyond" award for kindness and good hosting, I'd nominate Barbara for it. I arrived in the neighborhood at 10pm on the Sunday night of Santa Semana - a night during which the streets are absolutely thronged with a religious procession - and Barbara kindly came to get me and help me, a clueless American tourist, through the crowds to get to her apartment. The apartment itself is marvelous - clean, stylish, comfortable, outfitted with everything you could need, and located in the absolute heart of the old town. 51 weeks out of the year, this would be an extraordinary place to stay... I might advise against staying here during Santa Semana, but that is only because the surrounding neighborhood is so, so crowded during that time. But Barbara's hosting was absolutely A+, she helped me with all sorts of tips through the neighborhood and was a sterling example of generous hosting. As long as it's not Santa Semana, I can't recommend this apartment highly enough ;)
