The apartment is quiet as it looks over a small private courtyard with a few shops. It also feels very safe since the private street is locked closed at night and the apartment building has it's own locks of course. It's right next to a couple plazas with restaurants, coffee shop and small but well stocked supermercado. Easy 10-15 minute walk to the Cathedral and Alcázar, the river, the Museum of Belles Artes, the Flamenco Museum (which is amazing-don't miss it!) . The kitchen has everything you need, there's air conditioning which I only used part of each night. There's a large sliding glass door that overlooks the private plaza. It's basic-no beautiful outdoor area with a view--but clean and has everything including a great location and a great host, Luis.
