Maria's flat was great! The street it is on is pretty quiet and it's only 2-3 blocks from the metro. It's also only a couple blocks from a market which makes it nice to be able grab things to cook or just snack on. The flat is the perfect size. It has a kitchen, living room, and bathroom. At first I was a little concerned that it has a couch bed but it was actually very comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here as it is convenient and quiet. Maria checked with us often to see how we were doing, which was nice. She was easy to get ahold of if we had any questions and she used Whatsapp which was great because we are from the states and didn't have cell service to call or regular text. Highly recommended.
