Maria's apartment is full of quirky charm and character, with narrow staircases leading up to multiple brightly painted rooms. The rooftop terrace was a huge bonus, and we especially enjoyed staying in the rooftop room for the first couple of nights. It was bright and airy and very private. We were later moved to the "green room," which we found dark in comparison, but Maria goes out of her way to ensure her guests are happy and comfortable as possible. She is a truly kind and vibrant person with lots of good advice about the city. In the week we were there we also had the pleasure of meeting a few other guests/roomies staying there, all open-minded and friendly young people who we enjoyed talking to. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
