The view from Maria's place is gorgeous - we knew it would be good, but it still exceeded expectations! Yes it is a bit of a walk up and down steps -- so older guests may have some trouble. Drinking water was also kindly provided in the fridge as well. The porter was helpful in carrying our bags. Maria was also gracious enough to hold our things after checkout before our flight so that we could still explore the city without carrying our luggage with us. The wifi in the second home was pretty weak, but this was a minor detail. Quiet and beautiful location.
