Maria was very welcoming. She had fruit and other snacks in the studio. The studio was as described, but more charming than you could tell by the write up. I thoroughly enjoyed my week there. It was a beautiful setting with a park within walking distance and beautiful views of the bay.

Maria went out of her way many times to help me with directions or answer questions about the area.

She was a warm and gracious host and I look forward to returning for another visit.
