The apartment is true to the photos provided by the host. The host did not check us in, but her housekeeper met us at the door. The host communicated well with us electronically and was always available through chat.

My husband and I are late 20-somethings from Texas and here is what we felt the pros and cons were of this apartment:
Pros:
- It was close to major tourist attractions and cafes.
- The host provided written recommendations for food and other experiences. She also had up-to date travel guide books about Spain and Andalusia area.
- The refrigerator did it's job and kept food cold,
- The shower and bathroom were spacious and the water pressure and temperature were great.
- The bed and pillows were comfortable and clean.
- The hair blow dryer worked well.
- The couches were comfortable and the T.V. worked well.

Cons:
- If you are a light sleeper, you will not sleep. Even in low season and in the weekday, we were awaken by some people throwing glass bottles and making post-bar ramblings because this apartment is in a very central and busy area (which is also a pro).
- The apartment across is remodeling and drilling/construction noise begins at 8:30AM. It is very loud. I would contact the host to see when this construction will finish.
- The heater works and does its best, but if you are from a warm country/state, you will always be slightly cold inside. The host does provide additional blankets which is great.
- Not exactly a con, but you have to remember to take your trash out when you check out. If you are in a hurry, this is easy to forget.

Other:
- We did not use the washing machine, but it was available.
- We did not use the elevator, but it was available. However, this apartment is on the second floor (European first floor) so no big deal with the stairs.
