Maria is a great host! The apartment is lovely and well-decorated. The location is fantastic and easy to access by many forms of transportation. It was great to not have to worry about buying little things during our stay (e.g., soap, moisturizer, cotton balls, oil, spices, etc.). Given the cool weather, we didn't get to use the patio as much as we would have liked, but the apartment is so beautiful, we didn't mind one bit! I would strongly recommend staying at Maria's place!
