Maria's apartment is very special-fantastic views, about 20 minute walk to the river/tourist action, great communication from Maria, and since it is her home it felt like a home-complete with plants. Maria left us a bottle of her family's wine-delicious and some breakfast food (appreciated).
The main thing to note, since we arrived by car was where to meet to put the car in the huge underground public/private garage-this turned out to be more complicated and frustrating. It would have been better to have exact and specific directions to the entrance.
Of course in the end-it all worked out but still after driving all day and never having been here, it was frustrating.
