Location & Accessibility

San Isidoro Coliving boasts exceptional walkability in central Oviedo. The historic center, main squares, museums, and dining are all within a 5-minute walk. Public transport stops are nearby, but the location makes a car unnecessary for exploring the city core. Note that there is no on-site parking.

Public Transport

The Fozaneldi bus stop is a 5-minute walk away. The main Renfe and FEVE train station is approximately 1.2 km (a 15-20 minute walk or short taxi ride). Asturias Airport (OVD) is about 49 km away, a 35-40 minute drive.

Car Considerations

A car is not needed for daily life in central Oviedo. The coliving does NOT have on-site parking. Street parking in the historic center is limited and regulated. The host can provide information on parking options, which may involve paid public garages.

Walkability

Exceptional walkability. The city center, Cathedral, Plaza de la Constitución, Town Hall, and major museums are all within a 2-10 minute walk. The entire compact historic center is easily navigable on foot. Taxis and ride-sharing are readily available for longer distances.

Key Distances

Oviedo City Center: 200 m (2-3 min walk). Oviedo Cathedral: 300 m (3-5 min walk). Plaza de la Constitución: 200 m (2-3 min walk). Archaeological Museum of Asturias: 2 min walk. Museum of Fine Arts: 3 min walk. Train Station: 1.2 km (15-20 min walk).

Challenges & Tips

The main challenge is the lack of parking; plan accordingly if arriving by car. The building has no elevator, so be prepared for stairs. The central location can mean ambient noise from the lively streets and Plaza del Paraguas, especially on weekend nights; light sleepers may want to request a quieter interior room.
