Manuel puts a human face to what it means, at least to me, to be a SuperHost. He makes himself available all day – all night if you need any assistance; he’s obviously efficient so there are no hang-ups; he provides encyclopaedical documentation (to the extent that’s possible for a neighborhood) on where it’s nice to eat, and he bases that on years of experience living in the neighborhood himself; that’s all for starters. You’ll surely find much more staying at Manuel’s place. The place itself is so spacious and furnished with family heirlooms of real gentility, or what have you – you can’t beat the furnishings. The place is an Internet mega-high-speed headquarters for anyone needing advanced business communications or remote work… yet you don’t really see it all around you poking you in the face and creating eyesores…rather it blends in. Manuel is also a great conversationalist (fluent, perfect English, he probably speaks other foreign languages as well) if he has the time for that. In short, you get great a great place, great, service and get to know a person who cares if that happens to be your thing. Five stars.
