I tried to combine my answer to you and dhol82 in my post below.

Thank you for the advice on Air B&B. We have nothing at all against hotels, and may end up making plans to use them. I've stayed in lots of nice Bed & Breakfasts in our travels, but the Air B&B thing is a bit different, and I'm a little uncomfortable with the thought5 of it. My kids have used them in Paris and Rome, but I'm wondering if it is more appropriate for a younger clientele.

Good to know that the people are super. My wife speaks pretty decent Mexican Spanish, but I think Castilian Spanish is somewhat different.
