Maria was a great host. Her place is nice, very close to the metro and multiple bus stops. It's right in the center of downtown so you can walk to all of the sights, like the cathedral and market. Lots of bars and restaurants on the street. Maria gave me ear plugs because she was worried it would be too loud at night for me, very kind, but I slept through the nights with no problem. I would definitely stay at Maria's again.
