Maria is extremely friendly and the place is alright. Nothing to write home about. It is centrally located and easy to get to anything you need.
The room is rather noisy though. It's directly beside the elevator shaft, and the motor emits a whining noise when operating. It's also beside the front door and shares a wall with the bathroom... So bring your ear plugs. I played a white noise mp3 on my phone to help. Maria rents out another room, and there is only one shared bathroom for everyone in the house.
Also, the bed is hard like a plank of plywood. I mean the springs pushing up and I could feel them in my back. Not comfortable. The kitchen was kind of a mess. None of the dishes were put away, but they were clean, so no big deal. But the trash! The can was overloaded, and trash was heaping up above the can. It just seems like Maria is too busy to be able to take care of everything she has going on. I don't understand why her son doesn't help out. He could take the trash out and put the dishes away... He's plenty old enough.
