Overall Maria is very welcoming, with good intentions. I have to be honest and say I was caught off guard when I discovered the noisy parrot and dog. Not quite the relaxing environment I was expecting to find on arrival. The room I was given was not the same as advertised - I was given a smaller twin room with a set of bunk beds instead of space for two single beds.
Guests must appreciate that Maria is supporting a full family, but with that comes a lack of privacy and peace. The experience felt adequate at best.
