Maria is a great host all correspondence was quick and easy. She met us and walked us around the local area, and provided us with a map and details for the tourist sites. The apartment is exactly as described (outside terrace a huge bonus) and the area it is great, just off the tourist route, in a charming and safe local neighbourhood. Walking distance to the main sites (15 mins) and also the metro (8 mins). A choice of 8-10 eateries and bars/coffee shops as well as a local shop for all your needs. Cannot recommend highly enough.
