"It is a simple Posada with features that we prefer - open shared terraces on the 2nd and 3rd floors with comfortable furniture, a small balcony in our 3rd floor room (Sol) with great views of the mountains, cleanliness, friendliness of most staff, small and intimate, location in a quiet neighbourhood but just a short easy walk from the main walking street, quirky colourful decor, and price point."
