Maria’s place was a very pleasant stay. It was very close to bus stops however we found it very difficult to take public transit so we just took Uber. It is a bit far from city center about 35-50 minutes on bus. But a lot less crowded and touristy which was good. They were very accommodating with early check in. One recommendation is to bring ear plugs as it gets really loud at night because it’s next to a main road.
