Maria was an outstanding responsive host, very friendly and welcoming. We stayed for nearly 5 weeks, and we were very pleased that she arranged to have the sheets and towels done regularly. We rented a car for 4 days; a parking space was available (very important!) in the garage beneath the Plaza de Toros just a minute away; Maria personally showed us the parking space and the process for getting into the garage. The apartment was in perfect condition, everything up-to-date and pristine clean. The location of the apartment was amazing! Just a short block from the beach, it was in a neighborhood with little traffic and with several small supermarkets just a few minutes away. It was just a 20 min walk to the city centre, but we found it useful to buy a Bonobus pass (cheap!) and we could hop on almost any bus to get us to the downtown.
