I didn't stay at Maria's place but my parents did. All in all, I think they had a good experience. Maria was extremely helpful and communicative during the process, and my parents had only great things to say about her! I personally love Malasana area but may have been a bit too 'young' for my parents who were just a tad surprised at first arrival. My parents did end up in an apartment different from the one advertised in the photos, which wasn't a problem at all but just a bit confusing. Maria quickly put them at ease though!
