This was my first time using Airbnb so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Friends had advised me to stick with hotels because they have a front desk available 24/7 and daily maid service. Well, I didn't miss either of those. Raul's apartment was very clean and neat which is what I'm used to and prefer. In addition, he did not have numerous pictures on the walls and personal decorations all over the apartment. I actually prefer a clean, clutter-free simple look which was the set-up here. My favorite aspects of the apartment were the shower, bed (king size), wifi (excellent) and amazing view. The doormen were polite and always most helpful. When I arrived Raul was there to greet me and show me around the place but gave me 100% privacy after that (which I preferred). Lastly, the location was superb. When you step outside the action begins with a beautiful park, a palace and plenty of amazing restaurants within walking distance. Because of my excellent experience with Airbnb and Raul's apartment, I will now recommend and utilize the services of Airbnb in the future. Thank you, Raul!
