After a slightly bumpy hand off I was really pleased with the apartment. Everything was in new condition including the bath and kitchen plus the central HVAC was a bonus. Very clean and comfortable.
The location is great - next to an urban market and to many bars and cafes which were lively at night, yet the apartment was removed enough to be very quiet. I walked to the sights every day and the cathedral is 15 - 20 minutes away.
Mario was a very accommodating host. Spanish would be helpful but mine is poor and although his English is a bit better than my Spanish we opted for French.
