I had a great time staying at Maria Jose's! Living with her sweet puppy and kitty made me feel right at home and she was an extremely responsive/communicative host. The location is truly unbeatable- so walkable! The apartment also has bi-weekly cleaning which is awesome. The walls of the room are thin- as mentioned in other reviews, but Maria Jose did offer me ear plugs and it wasn't a big issue (just something to keep in mind if you're working remotely). Overall it was a great month-long stay and I would come back again :).
