Carlos and Maria's apartment was a delight to stay at. We were warmly greeted by Maria and gave us a comprehensive tour of the apartment. We were there for my mom's 60th birthday and Maria was kind enough to get her a decadent cake along with other snacks and drinks. I loved the Nespresso machine - helped with the jet lag. The apartment was homey and so comfortable that it was hard to leave to tour the city, but grateful to come back after a long day. The neighborhood is safe and quiet for the most part. Thankfully, the bedrooms are towards the back, away from the street, so we were able to rest with no problem. Overall, the hospitality was stupendous and will be forever grateful to Maria for all the lovely accommodations.
