Maria was waiting for us when we arrived and was very friendly and welcoming. She explained how everything worked in the apartment and provided a list of useful local information and contact numbers for taxis, emergency medical needs, etc.
The apartment was spotless and beautifully decorated. The location is excellent, within walking distance of several good restaurants and shopping venues. The area is also very safe, as you could see many local families walking late at night with their children crowding the ice cream shops. I highly recommend Maria's place.
