The unit was lovely and Maria was very good about providing info on parking and how to get into the studio. She also had helpful info about local restaurants, etc that were within walking distance.
Aside from the inconvenience of screen-less windows and an abundance of mosquitos , we would certainly consider returning to her lovely place. We ended up not staying the additional night, due to the mosquito problem...but to her credit, Maria offered to refund us the cost of that un-used night, which was appreciated. She has since told us new screens have been installed.
The bottom line is, it wasn't an ideal first time Airbnb experience for us, but as hosts go, Maria was impressively conscientious and had integrity, which speaks volumes. As mentioned earlier, w the new screens in place, we'd definitely consider returning. Thanks, Maria! :)
