The apartment was exactly as described, and was superbly decorated. The neighborhood is also great, as there are a number of cafes and shops within just a couple minute walk. Manuel was also incredibly responsive, and did everything he could to assure we had a positive stay, including welcoming us at the apartment and providing written information on the neighborhood and restaurant recommendations. We had a slight problem with the plumbing (the shower was draining very slowly), but Manuel was offering to send a plumber immediately to fix it, so the issue shouldn't prevent anyone from staying as I'm sure it's now taken care of. Great stay, and I'd definitely recommend it to a friend.
