Our week at Mary and Barney's house was great. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. They even provided a "Castro Convertible" bed for our two year old son. It was a short walk to the Metro station and a quick trip to get into the city. We had no car, which was fine. We only had to walk to the supermarket once, which took about 15 minutes. Every morning we got to enjoy Barney's fresh baked muffins and Mary's tasty granola. The house is really close to the beach (you only have to cross the garden and go down some stairs). There is also a playground for kids nearby.
