Maria was a perfect hostess. Very hospitable and communicative. Contacted me well in advance with address and directions so I had no problems at all finding her. She lives in a beautiful apartment in a quite part of the city that is a substantial but pleasant walk to the historic centre. There is a metro nearby which will have you there in ten minutes. Maria did everything she could to make sure I had as much information as possible about Semana Santa. She made me feel very much at home and provided breakfast and delicious coffee every morning. Maria is a lovely person. Charged a very reasonable rate. I would be happy to stay with her again.
