Maria's place was great! Exactly as described/pictured and it was a great location. The decor was charming, and the backyard was perfect for daytime hangs. One note about the neighborhood, which is totally out of the host's control, is that a neighbor nearby has a dog that is outside barking morning, noon, and night. I was woken up multiple times a night all week and I am not a light sleeper, so keep that in mind if noise bothers you. Aside from that, I would stay here again next time I 'm in town - the kitchen was well stocked with gadgets for cooking and the washer/dryer was a huge plus for a long stay. The two seating areas provided plenty of space for lounging and the huge TV was perfect for relaxing in front of.
