Maria's place is great! We absolutely loved the decor and the warm, artistic, at-home feeling (no stereotypical Scandinavian minimalism here...which was a very welcome change). Maria is a creative and we really appreciated the bursts of color, the furniture and her overall style. As for the basics: The bed was very comfy and we took advantage of her offer to help ourselves to the coffee and refrigerator.:-) The shower was also nice: one thing to remember about the bathroom: the entire building is old...so the bathroom isn't one of these modern ones like in a hotel. It's a bathroom in an old apartment building.:-) The main this is that everything works...hot water, the shower, sink and toilet! All was fine. Maria was also very quick to respond to any questions we had. All in all, we loved her place and highly recommend it. And we even got a few decorating tips.:-) Thanks Maria!
