I have mixed feelings about my stay at Maria's place. The location of the apartment was great - next to the central area and close to public transport - and the room was exactly as described and shown.
However, the shared bathroom in the apartment didn't have a lock - so someone walked in on my friend in the bathroom once, which was awful - and I found Maria difficult to communicate with when things went wrong. One day, I put an item in the fridge that she didn't want in it and on another, the blinds in my room broke and I needed to ask her to fix it. On both occasions, I felt like Maria overreacted and made me feel bad over text for problems that were easily solved. I was happy to take things out of the fridge and figure out the blinds, but she was very short and rude to me. This was completely different to when I first arrived, when she was happy to show me around the apartment and give recommendations of the area.
The other big thing to note is that the apartment is very hot in August. I didn't realise the apartment wouldn't have AC - which is my fault as Maria doesn't include it in the listing - but that's something to consider if you're travelling in the summer as the apartment traps heat and even with a ceiling fan it's extremely hot, easily 35 degrees Celsius indoors.
