Maria's greeting upon arrival was warm and friendly and immediately put us at ease. She gave us a detailed breakdown of the tourist attractions and directions to their location as well as providing us with a (very) useful map and local tips about the surrounding area.
Most tourist attractions are situated a stones through away from her place: the National Gardens and Olympic Stadium and a short walk (10-20 mins) from most other major tourist sites.
Her flat was extremely clean and well-kitted out. The patio was a great addition for alfresco dinning.
We had a lovely stay at Maria's place; would love to stay again and recommend to others.
