Mariano's place is bright and cheerful and provides all the necessities for a weekend trip. Mariano gave us some great tips of where to visit and we were welcomed by his friend who was helpful. It is about a 25-45 minute walk from touristy parts of the city which is great, although the neighbourhood feels a little unsafe when walk here from the busy, well-lit centre. There is a big Lidl 2 minutes away to get to most things.
