Raúl's Mālāsana apartment was a pleasure to stay in. It was clean, bright and sufficiently spacious for a couple. Raúl was an attentive and generous host: he greeted us with a map and a helpful introduction to the city. We were also instructed to use the many extras in the apartment (from toiletries to coffee and laundry detergent). Apartment's location is central to the neighborhood, transportation and sightseeing. The area was very young and hip, reminding us of Brooklyn. At night, the apartment was exceedingly quiet, even with open windows. One important caveat is that it is located on the top floor of a 5-story walkup. This wasn't an issue for us but should be noted. Overall, we highly recommend this rental!
