Manuel is a fantastic host- very nice and caring! We even had basics for breakfast and the apartment is furnished with love and detail! We really loved the location, Alameda de Hercules is such a great plaza where locals, hipsters, family and tourists hang out. Because of this mix it felt very authentic and not to mention the fantastic restaurants and bars just around the corner! We enjoyed our stay and walked almost to every spot because it was so central! The only thing a bit uncomfortable was that there was a smell from the drainage in the bathroom and it was persistent although we always closed the door and left the bathroom window open(incense also did not help). Also we could only use 2 of the stove plates and nothing else during that time because the fuse fails if you use more plates or hot water or the heating...If you don´t plan to cook, it doesn't matter but for those who want to its good to know.
All in all its a nice apartment in a great location!
