Maria Elena was a great host. She surpassed our expectations. Before and during our stay, when we had questions or needed help with calls or directions, she responded very quickly and even called the taxi for us when we were on our way to the airport. We felt like we were staying in a cozy and comfortable home. Her house is decorated in bright and cheery colors with art on the walls. She has guide books and information about the city and activities on hand. She also has TV sets in both rooms and the main room if you feel you'd like to have a quiet night in. She even provided food for our breakfasts!
