We loved staying at Maria's. We did not meet her but we got welcomed by a friend of hers. It is on the third floor with no escalator. The 2 other rooms were occupied with couples and we were lucky that there were respectful and quiet. The location of the flat is great for a city break. The flat was quiet and clean with an arty feel to it. The only thing is that the breakfast is too minimal, only 3 boxes of cereals, 2 choices of tea, coffee and white sugar. So we bought our own stuff in the local supermarket and did not use what was there. Overall we enjoyed our stay there.
