I can't rave about Maria and her home enough!! If your wondering if you should stay here, you should! My boyfriend and I were so nervous planning such a long trip (2 months) and figuring out our housing while he was in school. Maria made everything so easy for us. She is communicative, respectful, and very friendly. Her home is beautiful, well organized, and clean. She has everything you could possibly need for a long or short stay (including lots of espresso). Our room was the perfect size for the two of us with enough space to store our things. Her home is also centrally located to restaurants, shops, grocery stores, parks, etc. Maria herself was our angel! She helped us figure out the city, suggested great places to eat, and made sure we knew how everything worked so we could move around the house with ease. Like I said I can't recommend Maria's home enough! We will definitely be coming back again! :)
