Alvaro's apartment is great and we would definitely stay there again! It has super modern design, an iMac for your use, and it's in a great location! Alvaro is super friendly and helpful, an overall fantastic host. The apartment came stocked with fruit, cookies, coffee, maps, brochures, and best of all, Alvaro's original photography and lots of fun photography/fashion books to look at. The only thing we didn't like about the apartment was the shower, it consists of just a shower head right next to the toilet (i.e., no separation from rest of bathroom, so things tend to get wet), and it has a very small hot water tank (so if there are two people staying there, you need to wait a while between showers for the tank to fill back up). However, the shower/bathroom is exactly as shown in the pictures, so it's not like we were unpleasantly surprised. In fact, I think it's a really creative and effective use of a very small space. Alvaro is really fun to talk to, and he even called to order a taxi for us to take us to the train station on the day of our departure. He was super easy to communicate with, was always quick to respond to emails, airbnb messages, questions, etc., and he made checking in an absolute breeze. Knowing that my husband is interested in photography and that we had traveled to Turkey two years ago, he invited us downstairs to his apartment to show us a beautiful photograph that he took in Turkey which is framed and hanging in his apartment. The only other downside to the apartment is the lack of an elevator, but we certainly needed the exercise of going up and down the stairs after eating all of the wonderful food there is to eat in Spain. And Alvaro refinished the staircase himself and it is beautiful! Overall, a great place owned by a great person - highly recommended!!!!
