We stayed 2 days in Raul studio in July 2015.
The location is awesome and the studio is nice. But there are three problems:
1 The communication with Raul was BAD. We sent a mail 2 weeks before telling him that we would arrive at 10AM, drop the luggages and visit the city till 19PM, asking for details to meet him. No response. After 10 days I asked for a reply. Raul then wrote that he had already sent us all the details, which was not true as it can be seen by AirBnB list of messages. So we arrived at 10AM and found 2 doors and 4 ring buttons, but no Raul. We ringed all the bells and finally an old woman opened her door. She didn’t speak a word of English, but she let us drop our luggages in her living room.
Back at 19PM, door closed and no Raul. The woman saw us waiting and opened the door of the studio…Raul should really read the mails of his customers and make rapid replies :(
As Raul was not there, we ignored he had two bicycles to lend and we had to rent our own :(
2 Inaccurate description: The studio is underground, a sort of cave without window, with just a very small window of 60x40cm obstructed by wooden blind. you have to rely on electric light all the time :( This fact doesn’t appear in the description of the studio as it should! The price was high, 134 euros a night + 26 taxes, by far the most expensive we ever experimented with AirBnB and we think that for this price you don’t expect a room without daylight.
3 Not enough attention to details : The shower is Indian style, no shower tray, no shower curtain. Water splashes all around and the water evacuation in the floor was almost obstructed so that you had 1cm of water all over. The electric light in front of the bath room was out of service…
We will not go back to this place :(
