Mariano welcomed us to the apartment at the appointed time. He showed us around the artistically decorated rooms. The apartment was tidy and clean. It was aesthetically pleasing to be surrounded by his artwork and it felt like we were staying in a private art gallery. It was great to have access to the kitchen. The private bathroom was an asset. The bed was comfortable. The apartment is located in the centre of the city, and yet it is quiet for sleeping. Although we only saw Mariano in person on our arrival, we did communicate through notes and text messages. This was helpful when we needed advice about travelling to the airport by the metro.
