We stayed at Manuel’s place in mid-November. The location is very central to all the sites and many restaurants. It is only three short blocks away from the cathedral on a quiet block. It is a walk up to the 1st floor and there is an elevator as well. The apartment itself was clean with very large terrace windows for great light during the day and curtains that block the light for a really good night sleep. It has all the amenities we needed - a kitchen, pans for cooking, and even a clothes washer. The layout of the apartment is as shown in the online photos and was suitable for two people with enough space for a couch and kitchen table in the main entrance and a large separate bedroom. The shower had great water pressure and remained hot. It was a bit cold during our stay so we had to use the wall mounted remote control heater and it heated the place just fine. The bed was comfortable and we really did get a good rest as opposed to our noisier stay in Madrid. Manuel and his son are terrific hosts. They have maps and great recommendations for shopping, dining and flamenco! Yes, they charge a fee for pick up from the train station (who wouldn’t) but it was nice to get a tour and hear the background of the city when we first arrived. They are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their city and it made our stay much more enjoyable. I️ highly recommend this place to any future visitors.
