Maria's place is in a great location and the apartment is very pretty. Maria is also pleasant. However, it's a 4th floor walkup (4 steep flights) with one bathroom; the second bed is accessed with stairs that are 2 inches wide. We had some problems in our visit -- construction right below on the street (not under their control), a broken washing machine (Maria fixed it), and a clogged shower (there is only one bathroom) for 2 days. The clogged shower caused a leak in the apartment below and this neighbor asked us not to use the shower. Maria did not seem to care that we could take a shower for 2 days. Our experience may be an aberration.
