The place is very nice an updated with many places around the corner to eat at drink. You can walk to pretty much anything in less than an hour and the neighborhood gives off a great feel so we never felt uneasy about walking day or not. Many of the shops have everything that you will need for your stay in a 5 minute walk. Public transport is just around the corner in a taxi station if you wish to ride as well plus the bus is right out front.
Maria 2ae very accommodating about letting us check in early since our cruise got out early in the morning so we didn't waste a day worrying about luggage. I would d3finitely recommend Maria and the place was as descrieb3d. We had an excellent stay!
