My husband and I stayed at Maria's place for a week in October and we loved it! Our expectations were high considering all the good comments from other guests. But everything was true and the apartment looked exactly like the pictures. We liked that everything was provided for from shampoo to teabags. Maria is a very nice host and is available for questions. The apartment is very nice situated and you can reach everything in the city by public transportation. We loved the atmosphere in the Castro District. The only thing what none of the guests have noted was the thin-walled sounds. The upstairs neighbor is going to his work and when you are on a holiday with a jetlag, you will be awake. But it is sound that is not done deliberate, just the sound you make when somebody is walking or showering. And only for a short period. If we go back to SF, we definitely go to Maria's again. Thank you Maria for our pleasant stay!
