We loved how central Mariano's place is - we did not even need to use the metro to get around, though there is a station right nearby. It's especially close to great restaurants in La Latina. The apartment itself is very nice, just as advertised in the photos. It gets quite hot (in spring/summer) so be sure to use the fan provided in the room. Mariano is extremely kind, responsive, and accommodating. We would definitely recommend his home!
