Maria was a lovely host who made us feel very welcome. The apartment is in a beautiful, historic building while the inside is newly renovated. It's on street with modern art galleries, interesting street art and across from a sweet cafe. We also enjoyed walking to the nearby public square. We were able to watch a bit of the Euro soccer games outside there, where some locals had set up a screen and project. Pretty neat! Also, nearby is a beautiful public park with a fantastic playground that our kids enjoyed.
