Emanuel was great.
The apartment was very large and spacious - perfect for a family. It is centrally located and near the main train terminal. About the only downside was that it is very noisy near the plaza and side street with lots of traffic. There was no air conditioning so we kept the windows open for a breeze - which made it noisier.
Despite this, it was authentic, clean and lots of fun. He had a TV that allowed us to watch some of the Olympics that we had been missing during our travel. I would definitely stay there again.
