Raul was a perfect host! As others described, he helped us with our luggage up 4 flights of stairs. Not an easy task with our luggage. His apartment was great and we certainly got our exercise with all of those stairs. It was just as pictured in the listing and it was definitely clean. It was also very quiet for being in such a busy area and that was a nice reprieve from the city. The bed was comfortable and overall it was perfect for two people. The neighborhood was hip and central without being in a tourist section. There are several fruit and vegetable stores close by in case you get tired of tapas. Raul left a couple of umbrellas for us that came in handy the next day. We actually saw him out and about the next day which was fun. He was available to answer any questions we had and ordered a taxi for us the morning we were leaving. We would definitely stay here again even if there is no lift. He did talk about one being installed in the future, but he wasn't sure when.
