María Elena and her crew have a great sense of customer service. They were always present and ready to attend to our needs. We always felt welcome.
The house is large, but there are almost no social areas. It is practically a place to sleep. The kitchen was uncomfortable as there was a step in front of where you washed the dishes. Our backs suffered every time we had to wash dishes. A few things are missing: flat plates, glasses, a bread knife (there is a great bakery half a block away, but no knife to cut the bread), and containers for storage.
Each room has its bathroom. About half of the bathrooms, though, were tiny. Some had the toilet right next to the shower in the same area so the toilets would get wet. Other bathrooms communicated with each other, which gave us little privacy - noises and smells would travel :).
An upstairs neighbor woke up in the early morning or got home early morning and woke us up a few nights. It is though a quiet house on a private street.
It was also a clean place, secure, and with a great location.
