Alberto picked us up at the bus station when we arrived, which was really helpful. He was always quick to respond to emails before and during our stay. His apartment was cozy and had everything we needed. There was a hair dryer in the bathroom, which was really helpful for me since I almost never travel with one. My husband and I rented the apartment for a month from mid December to mid January, and we often cooked, and there was plenty of pots, utensils, spices, etc. The blender and juicer were nice too. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds ever. Definitely slept well there. The apartment is up 50 stairs, no elevator/lift, which wasn't a problem, but it's something to be aware of if you have physical problems. As in most of Spain, the apartment was clearly built for summer, which meant during our winter stay, it was a bit drafty and the sun never came into the apartment. I'm sure this is wonderful during warmer months though. The water heater is the smallest I've ever seen, which means in order to take a shower and have hot water the whole time, we had to turn the water off throughout showering: get wet, turn the water off, shampoo, turn the water back on, etc. I think this might actually be normal for a lot of Europeans, but I'm not used to showering like that, so it was a bit frustrating. There is a bus stop just on the corner, super close to the apartment. Either bus there will take you into the center, and both routes end at Prado, which is near the Alcazar. Takes about 10-15 minutes. There are several small grocery stores near the apartment, some that just have fruits, vegetables, and snacks, some that are full grocery stores. The one we went to most often is Alcampo which is GIANT and about 15-20 minutes walking. But there's a Mercadona that's much closer. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Alberto's apartment.
