Covadonga is a very good host, the apartment is lovely and has everything you would need for a short stay. It overlooks the busy square of Alameda de Hercules and is right above the Republica Cafe, the square is popular all day and there are lots of places to eat within a stone's throw of the apartment. There is also a small supermarket 100m away and a larger one about 5 mins walk in Plaza de Montsion . The apartment is only 5-10mins from the main shopping area and within 25 mins walk of all the sights. Buses run past the front door of the flat to get you into town if you want, we preferred walking through the narrow streets. There are two balconies at the apartment and lots to see if you want to relax outside. It's a safe area but it is busy and it can be quite noisy late on - the hum of voices rather than shouting and the bars and cafes are all good with a pleasant family atmosphere. If you like to stay somewhere busy with lots of places to eat without going too far, but near all the sights then I'd recommend this apartment and Covadonga is helpful and very attentive.
