Maria was very welcoming and helpful and the apartment was clean and comfortable. The apartment has everything you need for cooking, there are grocery stores and restaurant nearby. It felt very comfortable and homely. The only thing you should be aware of is that it is next to a busy street, so you will hear a lot of cars and emergency vehicles driving by. That's the tradeoff you have to make for being this close to the city center, though. I would definitely recommend staying with Maria!
