el numero 8
El Numero 8 is an accommodation that was designed by and for responsible travellers. Being travellers ourselves we decided to create a space that would exemplify what we are looking for when we are out on the road. An authentic place to stay that is tranquil, in a picturesque setting, clean, with reasonable prices, and aware of the environment and its fragility. That is what we try to offer here. El
Ocho is a very old house typical to one of the oldest neighborhoods in
Our
prices are not set relative to the other prices in the area but are
relative to what we need in order to cover our expenses and leave us money
to keep traveling and support our other environmental and musically
oriented projects like www.wapapura.blogspot.com. We also offer film sessions
on the terrace where guests can mingle with our neighbours to share a
wonderful night watching a movie with the
accommodation: The house has 4 self catered
apartments available. Three of
them can fit up to 4 people and one of them can fit two people max. Each apartment varies in its size, layout, design and decor, and
has a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom, living room and bathroom. They all have Radio/CD players and have access to all the common
areas in the house including the rooftop terrace.
All linen is included in price.
To minimize our impact on the environment we only
clean linen on check out or with guest’s request.
We dry all the linen on lines in the sun to save on using the
electricity for a dryer. We are encourage our guests to be aware of water and
electricity resources and consumption. As they are self catered apartments there is no maid service during your stay. All the apartments have power saving radiators to
offer a nice clean heat in winter, power saving light bulbs, water saving
toilets, and recycling stations to help us recycle the rubbish brought in
during your stay.
There is no need for air conditioning in the summer
as the apartments stay naturally cool due to the traditional Moorish
architecture style. There are
fans in the apartments but they are usually not necessary.
The office of El Ocho is run on solar power as well
as the free WiFi service we offer to all guests.
