I didn't meet Mariquilla as she was away on a business trip but she accepted my request without hesitation and made arrangements for her friend, Pilar, to meet me and and make sure everything was OK throughout my stay. I can't say what it would be like to share the space [I booked a room but had the apartment to myself] but Mariquilla has a beautiful home in a great location - I was welcomed, had everything I needed and was extremely comfortable.
