Marta was the most wonderful host from start to finish. She was easy to communicate with, quick to respond to our questions and extremely accommodating. She didn't have guests checking out on the day we arrived, so she let us check-in early in the day so we didn't have to carry our luggage all day. Very thoughtful. She went out of her way to make sure the apartment was equipped with everything we needed and even assisted us with restaurant recommendations and travel tips.

The apartment is also FANTASTIC. It's beautifully appointed, exceptionally clean and perfect for large groups. The bedrooms are all large and bright, the first floor location makes it easy to get to (there's an elevator but we didn't use it) and it's perfectly located for city sight-seeing. The apartment is a very short walk to the closest metro station, and within easy walking distance of restaurants, attractions, cafes, and a superb super-market. Marta has an information board in the apartment that provides a lot of helpful tourist information.

There were eight people in our group and everything was perfect....the apartment can easily accommodate many more than this. In fact there was one bedroom that we never used. The two bathrooms (and one extra toilet) are modern and lovely. Just be prepared, if you have a large group, that you will need to co-ordinate shower times to ensure sufficient hot water (especially if you have teenage girls in the group, as we did).

We had a wonderful one-week vacation and can't thank Marta enough for her hospitality and beautiful apartment. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
