Our taxi driver left us at the top of the street. Marie kindly stepped outdoors so that we could find our way to her and the flat. Her engaging smile immediately made us feel welcome. Marie is very friendly and despite language barriers, we all managed our way through French, our limited Spanish and English. Marie tried very hard to communicate with us and for that we are appreciative.
She provided a walk through of the very spacious, well appointed and air-conditioned appartment which can accommodate 4 with a very cute loft area. Our kids would have loved it. The appartment is larger than her photos show. We felt at home away from home.
The location is ideal as it was our intent to move about the locals and learn history and culture of the area and its people. While we walked lots, we never felt the apartment was ever to far away.
Back to the top of the street, only several houses from the flat is Le Heuerta 9 (hopefully not misspelled) a popular local restaurant which serves the most delicious tapas we enjoyed our whole trip. It's worth a visit. Service is fast and everyone is friendly despite language barriers. Everyone in the area tries hard to speak your language. Smiles go a long way and are universal :)
There is also a little store selling basics that can be found along the same wall of stores the restaurant runs on. We only discovered it the day we left. Be sure to have a careful look if you need something in a pinch like water or fruit.
Many of the reviews mirror our thoughts so we won't bore you with similar details. In a nutshell, you won't be disappointed. If you are then you really aren't on vacation.
Marie - mille mercis y un fuerte abrazo ! We had a remarkable stay! Liliane and Steve :)
