I think what I experienced at Maria's place closes matches why Airbnb was created in the first place. I had a clean, safe, friendly place to stay for the weekend which was extremely good value for money. Maria is an excellent host and she was very friendly, accommodating, and caring. I had to leave early on the final morning and she made a special effort to ensure that I could choose from various breakfast options in her kitchen. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable; her neighbourhood was quiet too so I had a very good sleep. The small touches were great, such as a little fold-out stand for my suitcase, a universal adapter plug, biscuits in a tin and a variety of different teas to make a cuppa. The bathroom was clean. Overall, I would definitely stay at Maria's again.
