READ THIS BEFORE RENTING!
It all seemed quite nice from the start. The apartment is fairly centrally located and of decent Spanish standard.
However, the neigbour was renovating his flat which caused a LOT of noice. Every morning we woke up to the sound of drilling and blows and it continued all day for the whole week (except during the weekend).
Well, these things happen and it's not in the control of the landlord. We informed Antonio the first morning (sending him a video showing the loud noises) and he promised to speak to his neighbour and the contractor. Nothing changed, rather we got the impression that the workers made even more noise just to bug us for complaining.
Hence, I asked Antonio what he thought would be a fair compensation, suggesting a 50% discount (seemed reasonable to us, since sleeping out in the morning and taking a siesta in the afternoon are holiday basics). At first he didn't answer but at the last day (after I reminded him) he offered us 10%. When I said that this didn't seem fair he suddenly claimed that the cleaning lady had discovered some damages on a wall (that definitely not had been caused by us) and that he also had spoken to other neighbours - and the guy who rented the apartment the period after (!) our stay - and that we had lied about how much noise it had been. Like they would know. All in all, he would not compensate us but still re-pay the fund that every tenant has to put up in front.
So, for not being able to sleep or rest for a week we got a lousy compensation and were accused of lying (despite sending quite strong evidence) and causing damages. In short, that sucks big time.
I am sure that Antonio is a nice guy when he can charge full rent. A lot of comments seems to prove that. But if something happens - and you never know when it's your turn - he is not the kind of landlord that has the decency to compensate you properly.
So take this into account if you think about renting this apartment.
