Maria and Mariela were WONDERFUL hosts and the apartment is GREAT! They were punctual and took great care of us. Mariela noticed that the coffee maker was broken and ensured that it was functional by the time we needed coffee! The apartment building is quite new (about 5 years old) and in great shape. The apartment used to be Mariela and Adolfo's home and they have left a fun selection of books, DVDs and CDs (almost did not want to leave the apartment!). The tree in front of the building makes sitting on the balcony a lovely experience, as do all the house plants. The kitchen is fairly well-equiped. We cooked several meals and the only things we would have appreciated were a couple of good knives for chopping and paring and a cutting board. Other than that, there are enough pots and pans and plates, cups and glasses. There was a blender and coffee maker. The apartment, including the bathrooms, was very clean. There were sufficient towels and closet space. In short, we will definitely stay here again. Congratulations and thanks to Maria and Mariela!
