The place was great. Didn't meet Mara, but met Analia, her mum. She was supper friendly and helpful.
The apartment is great, just perfect for a couple travelling. I would say it is actually better than pictures and more spacious. Very comfortable, I would even say luxurious. The kitchen is small with only a hot plate, but has a reasonable counter surface, and was plenty functional, enough for us to cook our own food without problem.
The place has its own balcony that gives out on the cobble street, very cute.
It is very well located: quiet enough and tucked away, but everything near by. A huge supermarket where you will find anything you want just around corner was a huge bonus. Definitely made life and cooking easy. It is also close to all the milongas, which is why we chose to stay there. And couple blocks in any direction and you are surrounded by shops, restaurants, and cafés.
Analia was super nice and went above and beyond with anything we asked her.
Definitely loved the place, will come back in a hear beat, and if you are a couple looking for a place in Palermo, this is the place!
