The apartment was spacious and convenient, only a couple of minutes from the bustling Plaza and 10-15 minute walk to key tourist sites. Located on the first floor the apt can take in a lot of noise from the street. For colder months even in March the apt can be quite chilly even with the heater on (it is common for apartments to have tiled or marbled floors to keep cool in the summer). We did not meet Maria (her neighbor let us in) but she was pretty responsive before and throughout our stay!
