Maria's place was charming--beautifully appointed and well kept. The location was really central and lovely with French windows overlooking some pretty streets. Despite it being a nightlife area (which gives you plenty of options for food and wine at close range), the apartment's soundproofing was really very good and the revelry didn't bother you once you were ready for bed. It has all the amenities you need: well stocked kitchen, ample wardrobe space and a very comfortable bed/bedding. While we couldn't keep our luggage in the apartment after check out, Maria recommended a luggage storage service at a homeware store close by for a reasonable fee. The people there were also very helpful when we had to call a cab to the airport. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend both Maria, who was very responsive and helpful, and her apartment.
