Maria is a great host and she is easy to get in contact with and very efficient. As for the apartment I was disappointed. It was VERY dirty. I would describe it as "lipstick on a pig". When you walk in it looks clean, but it is very dirty. It looks like they haven't wiped down the countertops/ chairs and furniture in years. There were stains everywhere. The bedding was NOT clean.. There were stains on all of the blankets, which is disgusting. The location is not around anything. Also, there is an additional fee that you have to pay that I didnt know about till I got there, which would have been nice to know before.
