Mariano is a warm and gracious host. He made me feel immediately very welcome and was always ready to offer suggestions or answer questions. The apartment is super charming and comfortable, personably decorated with cool artwork and funky furnishing. He provides great coffee! The location is central and walking distance to major attractions and shopping. The apartment is well kept and really old with uneven floors, walls and stairs, which is part of its charm. I loved it, but if you expect modern, it isn't!
