Maria's place was fantastic, just like all the reviews say, and so is Maria herself! She's super friendly and responsive and gives great tips for things to do and places to eat. The apartment is perfectly situated in the center of the center but on a small, quiet street. You can hear people walking and talking in the street below when the window is open – which I happen to love – but if you want complete silence the window will shut it all out. The apartment is a studio but very spacious and well laid out, with a distinct sleeping area and kitchen on opposite ends of the apartment, separated by the foyer and bathroom. All in all this was a great place to stay and I recommend it highly!
