I booked this place for a week. Maria was helpful in suggesting cool places to hang out in the area and always acknowledged me in passing. But some elements of this stay were frustrating.
Maria works from the kitchen day and night. The listing shows a living room area and a television but Maria asked me not to lounge in the living room and not to use the television when she is working in the kitchen (which is always). I felt like I was disrupting her work whenever I’d need to use the kitchen or move around the apartment.
Her apartment is well decorated and she is a nice host. But she restricted my ability to feel comfortable in her home. I felt relieved to move on.
