Maria is a kind and gracious host. We were later than we planned for check in and she was so patient and understanding. The apartment was just as described. The water heater was a little temperamental when we stayed but Maria gave us simple instructions to troubleshoot and everything worked fine. The internet connection was great. I work online and I was able to teach classes without any glitches. The apartment was very clean, airy, and nicely decorated. It had a really nice relaxing atmosphere. Two restaurants are just a few steps up the street and we enjoyed them both. We recommend this apartment!
