Raul was an excellent host, and he was very accommodating with suggestions for sightseeing and assisting with logistical issues during our stay. The apartment is quite sizable for one of two people and was very clean upon our arrival. The neighborhood is quite lively at all hours, though the 15th floor apartment is high enough to insulate you from most of the noise, and the front desk has 24 hour security. It is so easy to get around the city from the Centro Historico neighborhood, so I very much recommend you consider staying at Raul's apartment.
