Sharon notified me 2 days before my arrival that she wouldn't be able to host me and offered me to be hosted by her friend Maria. I accepted. I have mixed feelings about my experience at Maria's place.

The room looked good, with a large double bed and an en-suite bathroom. Unfortunately, the room and bed were a bit dirty (dust bunnies, hairs and dirty panty hanging on a door), the room was cold (even after having asked Maria to increase the heater) and not soundproof (I could hear the TV from the adjacent room).
