Maria was a very welcoming host. We didn't have to wait for her to show up to the apartment at all and she walked us to some useful spots around the area like the bus stop and a supermarket immediately. The bus card she gave us was very useful as well. The apartment was comfortable but a bit farther from most of the tourist attractions in town than we had anticipated. On the plus side, there were some good bars/restaurants in the area that were ran by some friendly locals.
