Maria is a responsive and friendly hostess. She provided great local tips. The apartment is in a great location and has nice features (washer/dryer, stocked kitchen, portable heaters). We did not have water on two consecutive mornings, though. The electricity also went out occasionally, and we needed to reset the circuit breaker. The washer/dryer was great, until it broke, locking our clothes inside. There was also a sewage-like smell that came from the shower drain, which could be mitigated by placing a plastic bag on the drain after showering. Hopefully these issues can be fixed for future guests.
