Maria was very helpful and welcoming from beginning to end. Maria doesn't speak English but we still communicated well using translation apps - and it was brilliant. Maria is wonderful and so is her home. My room was great place to chill out. The kitchen was fully equipped and the bathroom was great (I especially liked the shower as it has better water pressure then my one at home) Great location too with bus tops and metro stations nearby. I could go on forever! I highly recommend you stay in Maria's place.
