Mar and her family were great. We loved staying in the apartment. The location was perfect since we didn't rent a car. It was close to the bus route, metro and grocery stores which was what we wete looking for. So many restaurants near by. The place was much larger than expected and fit our family of 5 perfectly. We appreciated the kitchen amenities in the morning. The only downside was that it was noisy at night on the weekends and with a 5 year old this was tough when she couldnt get back to sleep but it isn't anything that can be helped and to be expected with the great location in town. Communication was great but best of all we appreciated the flexibility to drop off our bags early and leave them late so we could explore the city more without our bags in tow. Withonly a five day visit, this extra time allowed us to get our barings the first morning and get to the beach before our flight home which we wouldnt have done if we had to have our bags with us....
