Not sure where Mariano lives, bit I do not think he would live here! We arrived at 1pm and were buzzed in by Hassam as Mariano was away. As soon as the front door opened there was a strong smell of damp and chemical which was very unpleasant. The wooden stairs are very narrow, we struggled with our suitcases to the top where he met us. The first thing he said was 'These are the Rules', I asked could I use the toilet as the room was not ready. The room itself also has a damp smell, its big, clean, but has no character, only 2 dead plants?? an old picture which hasnt been put on the wall, a filthy sofa, a shelf which holds the coffee machine and toaster which is nearly falling off the wall, and a dodgy socket in the bathroom and also main light, one of the bedside lights also did not work. The good things, shower, coffee bags, orange juice, cereals. bed is ok. Sadly this place was not suitable for my asthma and not what we expected.
