We loved our stay at Mariana’s. It was very comfortable with a lived-in feel and much bigger than we expected. Our friends in BA told us this was a typical/classic-style BA apartment, which was cool. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning units kept all of the bedrooms cool during the very hot BA summer days! My son loved to play the electric keyboard she has there since he was missing his piano back home. The neighborhood was quiet and pretty with lots of trees and the park nearby, but also near plenty of stores, bakeries, coffee shops and restaurants. I especially loved the balcony that looked out on the street and the downtown area in the distance. We would be happy to stay there again!
