Maria is truly an amazing host. She is usually out and about but is always availability to assist in any way she can. Very down to earth personality which makes you feel like home. I was travelling on my own so it was definitely a pleasure having her host my stay. We hung out quite a bit, went to a dance lesson and had the opportunity to hear her daughters play in the orchestra. She also helped me practice Spanish while I was there and gave me recommendations for places/restaurants, etc as needed. Pretty much as hands on or hands off as you'd like for her to be. I would highly recommend her accommodations.
