maria was really reslly friendly. although she was late at my pickup bcuz of traffic, she kindly explains the situation and helps us to get used to the environment. she took all of us to the dinner tapas and the food and atmosphere was so local and nice we were really touched by this opportunity! and there is a cat named bowey who has different eye color ! i am definitely a cat lover so i was really happy to stay with a cat. the apt was at the ground floor and sometimes it feels like underground or slightly cold, but with a warm clothes it would not be a problem. and the garden is co-used area. the house is around 25-30mins from the city center by bus and atmosphere seems so local. there is a really good restaurant in the tanger street (15mins by walk) and around that street there is a kiosk and restaurants and supermarket! i really appreciate maria ´s hospitality towards us !!! even when she wasnt with us (new years eve) she helped our stay with her son. definitely nice experience!!! and as a art theory majoring student i strongly recommend you to visit museu serrlaves. the curating was perfect
