Maria - The location was great. We actually walked from the train station to Maria's carrying quite a bit of luggage . . on a 5 week trip. The only glitch was Maria had recently broken her hip and had made arrangements for a friend to meet us. The friend was called out on an emergency so we stood for a bit trying to figure out how to check in . . . called the friend's number with no luck, but then tried Maria and she was able to take the elevator downstairs to meet us. The room was clean as well as the bathroom. The only thing we were not aware of was that we were sharing the bathroom facilities with Maria which was not a huge deal. She was not able to make us breakfast due to her injury, but she did allow us to do laundry at no cost as an exchange. She was very helpful when it came to directions and ideas for places to visit. We were able to walk everywhere. We chose to take a taxi back to the train station when we left, and Maria made the arrangements for us.
