Maria's apartment was absolutely perfect!!! She was incredibly friendly and was waiting for us when we arrived. The apartment itself is gorgeous - quite big, beautifully decorated, with fresh fruit and flowers waiting for us. She even brought us baked goods! The kitchen was big and well-stocked, and the beds were very comfortable. All this and only a block from the palace! This was truly a top-notch rental, and we will try to stay here again next year.
