The flat was very clean and Javier was very communicative as a host and even provided recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to eat at. The best thing about the apartment, though, is the location. It is on one of the liveliest streets in the "Almendra" and very close (less than 5 mins walking) from all the major tourist locations. Even though the street is very lively, the soundproofing is great, so you can open the front porch and here the street below or close it and have the house really quiet, particularly in the bedrooms. Adding to its great location is that it is a short walk from the train station (about 10 mins), so it is a very recommendable place all around.
