Maria’s place has many positive qualities. The space is very secure with a lovely doorman. I ended up by myself for two days before my husband arrived and I felt very safe. The apartment is large, clean and exactly as pictured. Maria and her team provided great communication. The location is in a historic part of town with lots of shops and restaurants. It’s definitely up hill, but we didn’t mind the walk. There are a few quirks and these are just being picky. The bed is very hard, the kitchen has no supplies like sugar, coffee pods—despite having a Krupp’s Nespresso maker, there are no instructions for the washer (google the make and you can find directions online) and weirdly there are no toilet paper holders or towel bars in the bathrooms. There is so much good to be said about this space, but in the end it’s oddly stark.
