Apartment was indeed a palace and Jose Marie was a prince of a host. He spent time with us when we arrived and made sure we knew the places to see and the places to eat. As it turned out our three favorite dining spots were about a block from the apartment. Apartment and building were charming though steps up to bedroom might pose a challenge for some. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed including iron and ironing board (which we didn't use) and umbrellas which we did. There was food and fruit plus local cookies for us to try. Kitchen was well appointed and bathroom was very clean and spacious. Even had a good music selection.
