Raul’s place is very close to the metro station, it is just 3 mins walk and also close to Aldi. Going to the city center takes around 20 mins, which is not bad at all. I highly appreciate the convenient transportation. Besides, Raul is very prompt in response and very nice and kind in conversations. He is very ready to help. He has a very cute dog, which is a plus for dog-lover ^_^
The slight shortcoming is the sound-Proof is not very good, so it is easily to hear every sound coming from the bathroom. It is a bit cold at night during autumn and winter, so it would be better for you to ask Raul for a heavy blanket at the beginning, which he would love to help, since the heater is usually shut off at night.
All in all, Raul is a nice host and i would recommend it for people with limited budget.
