Mariano’s place was wonderful. The house had a lot of history so it was special to us. The community around us was middle eastern/Turkish so it was interesting to us. It was only about a 15 minute walk to the center of the city and we felt safe. He provided a few tips when getting there and I would recommend following them exactly as he indicated. While there was no Air conditioning it was actually not a problem. It was comfortable and we came in July. Also, his friend Hasán that greeted us was very accommodating.
