Great location with the cathedral and old town on one side and Plaza de Espana on the other. Got in at 8 pm on a Monday evening and had no problem parking right outside the apartment. Only had one evening and morning so it was very helpful to get a map and explanation of the main sights from Salud. I don’t speak Spanish but she new enough English to get by. I could not detect any cigarette smoke at all as was my concern from a few prior reviews. Really great apartment and city. Wish I had more time there.
