Maria's place was absolutely perfect for my trip. It was an easy 0.6 miles away from my conference and a great place to call home. I felt welcome from the beginning yet also had my privacy. Sharing the bathroom was no problem at all. Very clean and very accurately advertised. It did get loud one night (on the weekend) , like Maria mentions it can (you are downtown), so like she suggests, bring ear buds if you're sensitive to that. She also includes a noise machine which was very nice. Highly recommend her place!
