On the day of arrival, the host; response was somewhat slow though, I guess his mother is always home, so not much issue. (You will receive some photos to get to his apartment, so cannot get lost or lock yourself out.) The apartment is on the 2nd floor in American way, 1st floor in European way. The apartment has several rooms and wooden second floor inside.(I guess the room I stayed was pantry. The door with the room has somewhat different from others, and no window, so I guess it is not a real room in the beginning) I guess the host sleep on the second floor in the unit. Some nights, I heard squirky- staring up or stepping around sound, so if you are very very sensitive, you should avoid the place, I woke up by the sound, but could feel that they tried to step quietly so did not make an argue or anything. Overall satisfied for short stay for the price. Plus, his mother speaks only Spanish so you would feel real Spanish atmosphere. You can spend slightly more money then you will have better room though, still much better than staying in hostel.
