We arrived later than expected at Manuel's apartment due to some missed trains but he was very understanding once we got there. We found the correct intercom after surely waking someone with the same numbered apartment (different building) as Manuel's. Then we had trouble reaching Manuel (hint, you should talk into the intercom even if you don't hear anything on the other end). Luckily another group staying with him came through and let us in. Manuel was very helpful and kind and will give you a chance to use your Spanish as he doesn't speak English but he is also good at improvisation to help you understand. The room we stayed in (listed as a single or double ) had a bed that is arguably a tad too small for 2 people but we also had a couch in our room and Manuel had 2 bathrooms so there weren't any issues getting into the bathroom when we needed to. He kept a very clean house with lots of great decor and offered a space in the fridge and the use of his kitchen and washing machine too. We would definitely stay with Manuel again but would love to snag the room with the balcony next time.
