My flight was changed so that I arrived several hours earlier than planned. Maria kindly stored my luggage until check-in time, respecting the check-out time for the previous guest and time for her assistant to thoroughly clean the apt. The location is great. I was able to walk everywhere, although public transport...buses, metro, taxis are readily available. Neighborhood felt safe, an important factor of an older woman traveling alone. Apt. is a tiny, well appointed haven. Very comfortable bed, good sheets and towels.
