I loved staying with Maria! Her home is beautiful, and she is extremely welcoming and helpful. I had been staying in hostels for weeks prior to staying with Maria, and this was such a welcome reprieve. The room was so cozy, everything you could possibly need was supplied (including a super speedy hot water heater and tea bags!). The location, right on the edge of Palermo Soho, is also great and very safe. There is no laundry at the house but there is a very cheap (30 pesos) laundry service on the next corner. Maria asks that the kitchen is not used for cooking, but it is okay to to keep a few items to reheat and such (I made toast, and heated up prepared food). Overall a great experience, highly recommend!
