Maria is an amazing host! She’s welcoming and personable. I loved meeting her dog Sequoia. She’s super cute, friendly, and well behaved. What I liked about Maria's place are the décor, cleanliness, wonderful aroma/scents, self-check-in, and access to the garage to store your luggage. The location was pretty central. It’s an easy walk to Civic Center Station, Market Street, and local coffee shops. I also enjoyed using her kitchen to make tea in the mornings while meeting other fellow travelers. The room might be small but it was perfect place to rest and sleep (really comfortable bed). The closet has a luggage rack. My carry-on luggage fits perfectly inside the closet when laid open. It was a wonderful stay.
