Maria Elena is such a lovely host. She met us at the apartment for check-in and gave us a tour of the apartment. Towels, shampoo, shower gel and bedding were all provided as expected and the apartment was very clean. Upon arrival, we found coffee, sugar, bread, milk, biscuits, and wine waiting for us as well which was a lovely surprise. Any questions we had were answered promptly and there was a folder with details of the area and local attractions. The apartment was only 5 minutes from the metro and the tram and it was very easy to get around. When it came to check-out, again Maria Elena was very accommodating, looking after our luggage while we spent our last few hours seeing as much as we could and even calling a taxi to take us to the airport when we were ready to leave.
I would definitely recommend Maria Elena as a host and I hope to visit again in the near future (4 days was not long enough!)
