Maria responded very quickly, organised a taxi for us and was very kind to arrange for keys for us when we arrived on a different flight to our friend. The apartment has great views, a huge balcony, a large kitchen and was very comfortable. It suited the 3 of us well. It was a short walk to all the sights we wanted to see, and the metro is basically on the next street to travel further afield. Although some of the area is a little run down, there are some cool bars and restaurants very nearby as well as the 24 hour bakery. I would definitely stay here again!
