What an experience! We have stayed in 6 airbnb's so far and this has been the most memorable by a long shot! This is the type of place you tell all your friends about and remember for a liftetime. The amount of character and charm once you open the front door is incredible. We unfortunately didn't get to meet Juan Carlos but we were greeted by his girlfriend on the day we arrived. She gave us a short but sweet tour of the place and everything available to us.
It is all the finer details in this place that make it so special. Juan Carlos has done a super job renovating throughout and creating such a unique space. It really did feel as though we were living like royalty from medieval times. The open air courtyard is spectacular as are all the rooms we observed. The bed was comfiest we've experienced through airbnb. Wifi signal was great. There are 3 bedrooms on the level however we barely saw the other guests and it didn't feel as though you were sharing facilities or space. It's a shame the roof terrace wasn't finished as I'm sure this would have been just as impressive as the rest of the house (apparently close to completion).
The location itself was very central and is situated in the old Jewish quarter. Each day we saw tourists on walking tours through the narrow laneways admiring the area, so to actually experience living amongst the walls of Santa Cruz was pretty special.
We can't really find any flaws with this place as it truly was an experience of a lifetime. Thanks for accommodating us, we hope to be back one day!
