First, Maria is fabulously genuine. She is very friendly and excited to share insights about her home turf. I never sensed she did so out of obligation or an ulterior motive (such as concern for her Airbnb ratings). She seems simply to love her city and jazzed to share its awesomeness with visitors. She balanced well socially engaging us with providing us space when we were noticeably exhausted from jet lag and walking around the city.
Next, her flat is huge! The bedroom is more than spacious enough for a couple, with a private en-suite bathroom and on-demand hot water. Others mentioned feeling cold at night during winter but we were toasty throughout the night.
She provides shampoo/conditioner and shower gel. Thoughtful additions more common in Japan than in some airbnbs in Portugal.
The kitchen is spacious enough for a couple and well stocked with pots, pans, etc. Maria also made fridge space available for our use.
An Airbnb experience like the old days. Highly recommended!
