I had a great stay with Alba and her family. The room was really nice and private. There is a well-equipped kitchen for those who want to cook. The location was perfect- away from the touristy areas of the city but in an historic neighborhood with good restaurants and bars, both traditional and hip. Casa Ricardo, only half a block away, was a throwback to earlier days.....with a really nice traditional, Spanish ambiance. I rented a bike and rode all throughout the neighborhood and the city. I met an old guy who told me about flamenco at the Local TBO (google it for directions) every Thursday at 9:30 pm.....an utterly authentic treat with no tourists other than myself. Overall, a great stay in a great room in a great city.
