Mariana was a great host. Communication with her was great, and she was very helpful in solving any issue came up. We stayed at her place for 2 months and it was lovely.
A few things to consider if you are looking at staying in her place:
- the view is incredible. If this is important for you, you found it. It has a wonderful view of the city skyline and we had amazing sunsets every single day.
- the shower could have a bit more water pressure, but Mariana already said she was looking into having a pump installed.
- the TV in the apartment is actually way bigger than the TV in the photos -- it was recently changed, I believe. So don't let the photos hinder you if that's important for you. It's a great TV and we had a good time watching movies there.
- the stove is quite powerful and the kitchen is well-equipped.
- the location is amazing. There are tons of stores and cafés nearby, as well as amazing restaurants. It was also pretty easy getting taxis at the street corner.
