Default Travertine Tiles in Shower Good idea?

Hi

My friend said I was crazy to think of travertine tiles in my shower
as I am planning to have my bathroom remolded.

He said that it was easy to damage and difficult to maintain?


What are the pros


It's pretty.

and cons.


It is said to be easy to damage and difficult to maintain.

It is also very commonly used in some places. Mexico for example. When
living there, I had no problem not damaging it as I am generally barefoot
and naked when showering. The maid cleaned it so I can't attest to the
alleged difficulty of cleaning but I wouldn't think it would be all that bad
since it is smooth (after filling) and shiny. Smooth shiny stuff is easy to
clean. IME, YMMV.
