I had a very relaxing few days at Raul's place,welcomed and shown everything by his charming friend, Maria. Actually more spacious than I'd imagined,with balcony as well. Comfy beds,good shower. I already knew the local area,which is safe,friendly, very Spanish and very cheap! Easy walk to the beach and easy transport to the centre,if you want to be a tourist. My only small problem was the doorlock into the block from the street, it seemed very worn and sometimes tricky to turn. But that door is not Raul's responsibility. He is improving/working on the apartment over time,and I think he has a winner,great character/atmosphere and great value. Will return. Thanks,Raul!
