Mara was a wonderful host. Her place is just like in the pictures--a modern, clean studio, on a beautiful, historic, and quiet street near lots of great cafes, restaurants, and parks. She left chocolates, shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. for her guests which made it very convenient. She also has a great guide that helps you explore your neighborhood. We loved the balcony overlooking the cobblestone, tree lined streets. And when our flight was 13 hours late, she met us at midnight when we finally got in to give us the keys and show us around. Really a wonderful home base for exploring the city! Thank you for everything Mara!
