Mariona was a lovely host - we didn't get to meet in person because she had a family emergency, but was still available by messages for anything we needed and clearly communicated with us. She had a friend of hers do our check in instead, and we were able to get the information for check in using my rudimentary Spanish and her friend's similar English. This is a one off incident, so not likely to happen again.
The apartment itself is near a lot of restaurants and nice parks, although a bit farther from the main tourist sites. We had older people in our group and often took a taxi, which were affordable. The apartment itself is old and only the living room has AC, although there are fans provided in each room.
