We paid under 70€ for one night at this aparthotel, so we weren't expecting too much. It utterly exceeded our expectations. We had a comfy queen size bed (rare in Spain, in our experience), a large room, with a small kitchen with hob, microwave, fridge etc. It was super quiet – no squeaky floorboards, no banging doors or lifts. The location was great for us with a little Italian wine bar two doors down, and a little Thai Kitchen just across the road ( we didn't try that this time, but will next time!) we were also right in the middle of lots of bars and restaurants, which were very easily walkable. We will be back!
