Maria is lovely So as the apartment. It Ian great to life in a local suburb instemde of being surrounded by tourist. It is only 20 min walk to the palace. Next door you have a supermarket. Also a bakery. just go have a coffee at the bakery at 8:15 am in the morning. It is a great experience with the locals and the cappuccino/ black coffee is amazing! The apartment is super clean and got everything you need to have a great small holiday!
