Mariano’s place was well equipped, good WiFi, nice sofa and bed, and David who welcomed us was kind and helpful. We enjoyed our stay. The bathroom and shower were lovely and we enjoyed using the modern kitchen a lot.
One thing to note is that the location does not feel too safe when walking around at night, particularly for female travellers. We were made to feel uncomfortable walking home in the early evening. Certain areas near the north train station can be avoided by taking back routes. If you are OK with this, then Mariano’s place is a great place to stay.
In addition, the corridors in the apartment are noisy and the walls above are thin, so if other travellers above or below you are staying up late you can certainly hear it.
Overall it’s a great place to stay, particularly if you aren’t too fussed on location.
