We enjoyed our stay at Maria's. The room is similar to a hotel room and is on the ground floor of Maria's house - there was plenty of privacy as the room had its own entryway. The location is spectacular as you are only 2-3 streets away from the N line and are similarly close to Cole Valley and Haight Ashbury. All things considered, the price was about right for San Francisco. If you want an authentic San Francisco experience, Maria's house is a great place to start.
