Our host was was wonderful! Maria was very responsive to all questions. The apt. Was beautiful and comfortable. Maria made everything go smoothly. She is very knowledgable about the area! The area was fantastic!! Very close to the canal with bike and walking paths, (and bike and kayak, paddle and electric boat rentals). Atwaters is a beautiful market, also within walking distance. Fresh fruit, veggies and yummy baked goods and so much more! The metro is also walking distance, which is how we got into the city a few times. We were sad to leave! 5 out of 5 stars.
