Maria made us feel very welcome. She met us right on time and went through the apartment with us to explain how everything worked. As well she brought us a lovely big bag of fresh oranges! The neighbourhood was excellent. Traffic was a little noisy but we were close to a food market as well as fresh fruit and veg stands. It was easy to get around and everything worked very well. Lots of excellent museums which were very reasonable in price and most were free on Sundays! We were able to walk everywhere and enjoyed the beautiful architecture.
