Maria was wonderful to work with, very accommodating and always responsive to my questions. She even had great recommendations about places to eat in her area. Even though I never met her in person, she is a great hostess. Her place was everything we could have asked for. It was in a great location within a five minute walk to the tube station. It was bright, safe and clean. The beds were comfortable and bathroom large by European standards. I highly recommend staying at Maria's place.
