Maria's place is very clean, comfortable and safe. When we arrived, our taxi dropped us off across the street and her daughter Eleonora met us there and helped us bring our luggage to the flat! The place is decorated, supplied, and cleaned with extreme care and thoughtfulness. It's very close - walking distance - to many shops, places to eat, and sites to visit. It's also close to the bus line so that's an option if you don't want to walk or take a taxi. We didn't meet Maria but it seems like her daughter Eleonora is the primary contact and she is very helpful. She goes over and above what's expected as far as giving realistic advice, tips, and suggestions, and she's also willing to be contacted with any questions. She provided resources, including a map, that she explained in detail during check-in. She also makes herself available for questions during your stay. The flat is situated in a convenient location for dining and shopping. One side of the flat faces a court yard area that's private and quiet. Another side faces a more lively street. Our stay included a Friday night, which has the potential for more traffic and noise (cars and people) than other nights but it wasn't an issue for us but it's helpful to be aware of it. Eleonora is a wonderful hostess and I recommend staying at this place!
