What a treat it was to stay in Maria's lovely apartment! She welcomed me with such warm hospitality and made sure I was comfortable with everything. The place was spotlessly clean and her decor and artwork make it feel like the home of a well-traveled person with excellent taste. The bed is extra comfy too. It's just a 10-minute walk to some excellent restaurants and one of the best bookstores I've been in. The neighborhood felt quiet and safe. I hope to visit again one day!
