We had a great stay at Maria's! Everything was clean,and in order and just as cute and well designed as in the photos! What was amazing was the location ! It was great to be in the very active Bairro Alto neighborhood, yet with closed windows and shutters, still get some good sleep! Maria was lovely when we met upon arrival. She shared her enthusiasm, suggestions and helped us feel welcome. We knew we could call her and if we needed assistance,and she would help out! (She did help us order a cab for our departure.) She spoke English well, and was a great communicator. We would highly recommend staying at her place!
