Communication was limited but worked out fine for me. Once I got the telephone contact, communication was swift. A quirky and charming apartment in an old, typical Spanish apartment block. Everything worked and was comfortable however in general the building and apartment could do with some maintenance(guess that is the bohemian bit). The floors get wet when it is raining heavily( through the closed! balcony doors)and I did not really trust the cute little balconies. As mentioned in the reviews before the apartment is indeed rather noisy. Definitely not a place to have your windows open. It was very hot when I arrived and the A/C is not able to cool the bedrooms. Later temperatures were more agreeable so hardly needed the A/C. I stayed 3 1/2 week so a little more possibilities to give the place a clean would have been useful. There was only a broom and 1/2 a dustpan. There was something like a vacuumcleaner( the manufacturer should be shot) but no charger to recharge the thing. An upgrade of the bed pillows would also be a good investment. On the overall I really enjoyed my stay in the apartment and loved the neighborhood.
