We didn't actually meet Marina during our stay. She was out of town when we arrived and we got keys from the cleaners. That turned out to be the only hiccup with our stay in that we were left outside the apartment for an hour waiting for them to come down. Either the bell didn't work or they were ignoring us.

The apartment itself was great. The location would be hard to beat...just a few blocks to the cathedral in old town. Others have said that they experienced noise from the street late at night but we didn't find that to be the case. All the facilities were in good working order and the WiFi was fine. The AC worked well...really important in July/August. We really enjoyed the neighborhood. There was good shopping, restaurants, and bars in every direction. I would highly recommend a stay at Marina's.
