Mariano was a great and accommodating host. My sister and I arrived very early in the morning and Mariano allowed us to drop our bags off several hours before check-in time. He provided us with great suggestions on places to visit, several maps of the city, and guidebooks. The apartment was exactly as the pictures show. It was incredibly beautiful, relaxing, and clean. We especially loved all of the artwork that adorned the space. It was particularly hot when we were visiting so the air condition made our stay even more comfortable. The location of the apartment can't be beat. It's in an incredibly central part of the city and we were able to walk everywhere (i.e. El Prado, Parque Retiro, Mercado de San Miguel). Please stay with Mariano if you get the chance!
