Maria was very welcoming, we were met at the apartment by a friend of Maria's were every thing to do with apartment was explained, Maria called while we were there welcoming us and detailing finer points and places to eat.
The apartment was in a great location right in front of the resturant area, over looking a canal. The apartment was very clean and tidy with all new amenities set in a lovely old building with a central court yard. The subway and trams are about a 5/10 minute walk and if you desire the city is about a 40min easy walk. I would recomend a stay at Maria's apartment to my friends .
