Absolutely stunning; possibly the most gorgeous place I've ever stayed in my life. Incidentally, I'd stayed at a super fancy hotel the night before I arrived here, and Manuel's place was about a million times better in every way. The pictures barely even do it justice! It's clear that a great deal of care, skill, and love have been put into making this home delightful in every way. It was a joy discovering each little detail, from the oft-quirky decor and apartment features to the thoughtful touches (like toiletries or suggestions for places to go nearby). The location was superb, just moments from the gorgeous central marketplace--perfect for a stroll to grab breakfast or snacks for the train--and very easy to find. I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to explore and was able to walk to pretty much everything. Manuel himself was very sweet, punctual, and accommodating, and really made the whole experience incredibly easy and relaxing (even though he was concerned that his English wasn't perfect...it wasn't a problem in the least). Words just about fail me when it comes to describing the home itself, though. From the moment I crossed the charming antique threshold, riding up the elevator (thank goodness!) and passing a quaint sort of impromptu garden, and finally entering the apartment itself, I was smitten with the place. On a pragmatic level, it's very comfortable (I slept like a rock), well equipped with air conditioning (though I didn't even need it) and everything you could hope for in the kitchen. But there's something more than pragmatism that appeals here; maybe it's the striking modern design of all the fixtures? Maybe it's the bold color scheme, the indoor rock landscaping, or the ubiquitous accent lighting? Maybe it's the gorgeous views on the private terrace, which can't help but ooze romanticism? Whatever it is, it's some sort of magic. Highly, highly recommended!
