Splendid Apartment with Lots of Ambience!
Review Submitted: June 15, 2009

This charming apartment was truly my home away from home. I stayed there in late May-June for just under 3 weeks, and I honestly did not want to leave! The owner is extremely kind, helpful and accommodating. The apartment, itself, is very comfortable, with everything you need to feel at home. It is also very clean, and artfully designed with a modern euro flair... all the rooms have been renovated and stylishly decorated with colorful & original art work on the walls, and yet, the original character of the building has been carefully preserved...as seen in the old paneled doors and in the original ceiling molding, etc. The master bedroom and second bedroom are located at the back of the apartment, and so are very quiet. Both bedrooms overlook this wonderful garden, with huge flowering plants and aloe vera. It was so incredible to wake up to this scene every morning! The apartment is situated on a tree-lined street. This is very fortunate indeed, because it means that the apartment is shaded from the hot sun during the day, but at about 6 or 7pm, it receives a brilliant, golden sunlight which stays for a few hours or so... wonderful! There is a fresh herb garden on the balcony, and flowered vines. There is a cafe/bar below, at street level, and this makes you feel like you are really 'living with the Spanish'... the ambiance of the neighbourhood can be fully appreciated from the balcony... and as I think will leave an lasting impression upon you. It also helps that the apartment is just 5 minutes away from the metro station.. for 1.90 euro you can take the metro from the airport to this apartment... very convenient.
For all of these reasons and many more (which I do not have time to write here), I highly recommend this holiday-rental. I fully plan to stay here again in the future!
