I never got a chance to meet Marie but we stayed in contact via text, and when the airlines had lost my baggage she was so incredibly helpful as a point of contact, in the case they needed to deliver them. Despite the lost bags, we had a wonderful stay at her apt. which had everything we needed for our comfort. The interior design is modern, functional, and very cute with little personal touches. The area is lively and authentic. It has LOTS of food choices, and is super convenient in terms of transportation with the metro station at your doorstep, and a bus and taxi stand across the plaza. You are also very close to some of the best shopping areas and it's worth it to just explore by foot. We would definitely stay here again. Marie is just a wonderful host! Thanks Marie:)!
