Maria’s place is in a very nice neighborhood (I’m originally from the area, so I have years of history to draw upon). It’s very quaint and quiet.
The place is spacious and clean. I rented the smaller bedroom and it (as well as the washroom) had everything that I needed.
I only communicated with Maria through text messages, but I found everything I needed and Maria answered all of my questions.
I also saw a cute small dog around, but was never around long enough to meet him/her :)
