I had a great time at mariana's and carlos's home. Even though I arrived very late, mariana waited up for me to show me the room and help get me settled. The room was simple but perfect for my needs, and as many have commented comes with a lovely, spacious private bath... mariana, carlos (and kids) lead very active and busy lives so I didnt see much of them -- but they were very helpful and generous if I needed anything....I just had to ring their doorbell or call them....If you are looking to stay in beautiful princeville (where the going hotel rate is approx. $400 - $500 a night!), then mariana's and carlos's place can't be beat! Thanks, m & c, for your hospitality and the very comfortable and affordable lodging!!
