Maria’s place definitely had a lot of thought put into it! It was clean, comfortable, and had a beachy vibe all throughout the space. Her instructions and responses are very clear and I really appreciated the many recommendations provided in the binder. I will say that if you’re not familiar with the streets near this location, make sure to check in while the sun is still out. I’m from Washington so it was really difficult to figure out that the back alleyway was an actual street (especially since I arrived late and in the dark).
One more thing I would like to point out is to be cautious if you’re a light sleeper. This, of course, is personal preference and she does state that there will be noise coming from upstairs so this is NO fault of hers. But, the noise does persist until pretty late into the night (I would say about 11:00pm/midnight) which made it difficult for me to fall and stay asleep (which I usually do by 10:00 pm). I should’ve said something but I’m not sure how you tell someone in their own home to quiet down without coming off like a jerk haha! I just wanted to let anyone else who might be in the same boat as me aware of what to expect!
Other than that, the place is amazing, it’s close to a good number of restaurants and stores, and the host is sweet!
