We had a wonderful time at Maria's place! We never met Maria, as she was out of town, but Luisel took care of us. There was fresh fruit and water and snacks, and coffee provided,which was so nice. Luisel helped us get metro tickets and a map,and told us where everything was. The location is two blocks from the metro, and it is in a lovely neighborhood. It's a basement apartment,but has lots of windows, and it has a delightful garden for relaxing or eating. The shower is quite small and it's a little awkward to get out of it since it opens next to the toilet. That's the only negative. I hope we can go back there sometime! It really was a fantastic place!
