What a wonderfully convenient neighborhood, close to the big museum and Casa Cultura (a must-do, free admission and really top-notch), and the park with art shows on weekends, three blocks from in-town artesan's market, and close the some of the bigger, more touristy-hotels if you need a "fix" in one of their bars. La Cartuja staff outstanding- friendly, kind, completely helpful with everything requested. The rooms just right for the price, and a comfy living-room/library style public area, not to mention the garden. We were only there for three days, and busy all the time, but when we come back Cartuja would be our first choice as a base for a longer visit to the region!
