Marias place was absolutely stellar! She and sequoia welcomed me with open arms into her lovely and charming victorian. Unfortunately I was on a truncated schedule but, she was so polite and such a great host, giving me a tour of the beautifully appointed apartment, which was clean, warm, and vibrant. I especially LOVE the Japanese style toilet she's installed. It makes me miss that luxury from back in Asia. I personally would book with Maria again on that fact alone, well that as well as the overall experience I had. I hope to book with her again and be able to stay a bit longer. A highly recommended spot!
