Maria is a great host - communication was perfect and swift and her place is as described. Great location, beautiful decor and very comfortable with all the amenities you could possibly need. Unfortunately during my stay there was a "noise incident" when I had 2 girlfriends over after dinner (from 1am till 3am) and their chit chatting and laughter combined with having the windows open and playing (moderately loud) music led to a neighbor complaining. I do apologize again to Maria for what happened. Unfortunately I had already gone to bed then (as I had hardly slept due to my very long travel) and was only made aware of what happened the very next day. I do however accept that despite that, I was solely responsible for Maria's place that night and I should have made sure my friends left before I went to bed. I have been staying at dozens of places and have always made it a point to treat every single one of the apartments as if they were mine - so this whole incident sits very sour with me personally as well - again - please accept my sincere apologies Maria
