As gorgeous as Maria's apartment appears in pictures, it was even nicer than expected. The place is clean, nicely decorated, beds super comfortable, and Maria had provided fresh fruit. The location is a 20 minute walk to key tourist sites. The neighborhood is very safe with great restaurants. It was very quiet (for sleeping) at night. Maria is a lovely person, easy to contact, responsive to inquiries, and provided recommendations for restaurants and things to do. I would highly recommend staying at her place.
