Maria's place is a cute newly renovated place, just in Batsi town. It's only a 5 min walk and you are in the middle of it. Maria's hospitality was a stand out. She was very communicative and even called around and reserved a car for us when she heard we hadn't got one yet. Her suggestions for places to eat and things to do, were all very welcoming and much appreciated. Not many hosts I've stayed with have gone to that length to look after us.
The room itself is part of a house and right next door to another guest room. If you are looking for ultimate privacy, you may find the closeness to other guests a little intimate, as there is a connecting door inside the room (which is locked) but leads to the rooms next door. We found the noise travels through that door a little too easily. But Maria tells us that she is looking to seal that door a little better in the near future. This may or may not be a problem for other travelers depending on your expectations. Otherwise we had a wonderful stay there, and would love to visit again.
