thank you so much Maria!
I got a great deal on this location, and it was beyond my expectations! booked @ 7pm, approved by 7:30pm, for a check-in @ 8pm. so fast! Maria's place was well set up, homey, and well-stocked in terms of cutlery and appliances. there was even fruit on the table and eggs in the fridge! I had 2 furry friends with me who, as curious as they are, quickly explored Maria's own porch and she was very understanding about it!
also, she was kind enough to allow me to extend my stay an extra day despite a busy week ahead for her.
anyone interested shouldn't worry about pet stuff or baby stuff (in case of forgotten items), I was happy to discover a highchair and playpen in the closet with the pet food dish.
additionally, the shower curtain rod was discovered to be broken, and Maria was very responsive and showed up with a replacement within hours, concerned about my comfort!
thanks again Maria! I hope every host is like you and maybe I can catch you again!
