It was a joy to be met by a real person and given two sets of real keys, plus a tour of the house and facilities. So few hosts do this anymore and we hate the electronic locks and apps (that often fail) so it was lovely to have a meeting with Alejandra and share her enthusiasm for the lovely house. All communication was prompt and also warm and caring. We walked from the bus station in 20 minutes, including through the charming, flower-filled streets of the old town; too narrow for cars and very quiet. The house is as pictured, very cute and with a sewing theme throughout. We used the upstairs twin/double room, a very comfortable bed and pillows and a huge dressing room attached. There's a double room downstairs and an upstairs single, although not a lot of living / dining / kitchen space for more than 2-3 people. The little table for two on the patio was nice for coffee or drinks and the patio was warm even in January. The house stays cool but there are lots of heaters for all rooms. The kitchen has enough equipment to cook meals and Alejandra gave us local chocolate and crisps, tea, coffee, milk. The biggest surprise was about 150 yards stroll further down the little cobbled street where the view is stunning!

Although the vintage sewing cabinets are lovely it would be nice in places to have some drawers to put clothes away. Without a washing machine we would only make a short visit (we stayed 3 days) as we travel light and for a month or more at a time and need to wash our clothes.

The location in the arab quarter was special, as were the furnishings in the house and the level of thoughtfulness of the host.
