Maria, the host is just a wonderfully kind human being just as others had described in their reviews. My friend and I stayed 2 nights and Maria's hospitality and clean, welcoming place made up for the lack of neighborhood parking and A/C. The dogs in her home were lovely to be around and we were grateful to Maria for all of her advice on the local scene and for having patience with us not knowing when we'd return home each night. We'd definitely stay with her again. Very clean room and bathroom and her kindness will blow you away! Cheers!
