Maria is one of the friendliest, kindest hosts you'll meet. Each room is small but cosy, and imbued with Maria's warmth and quirky eye for design. The area's great - I loved popping by Sightglass Coffee and Vive La Tarte every other day. Plus it's a quick 1km walk downtown and to Whole Foods. My bedroom faced the main road and was slightly noisy at night, and it was an occasional wait for the shared bathroom, but other than that everything was perfect.
