First off, Manuel is an excellent host. He had bread, jam, fruit juices, coffee, homemade wine, crackers and sardines for his guests. Also had lots of info on the city he loves. Has some of his favorite restaurants and bars on an info sheet.
The apartment is in an old department store that has been converted into apartments. There is a small elevator, but we never used it because it was just as easy to use the stairs. You need to hit a light switch on the wall so you have some light to get yourself up or down the stairs. The apt is small, but lots of closets and drawers to put your clothes away. The location is excellent. Close to everything. Would stay here again.
