The following is a completely uncensored and objective review of Maura's (Steve was not there and had minimal interactions with me) place : BOTTOM LINE: The actual physical space and included amenities are a saving grace given the abhorrence of the landlady, Maura. Her unbelievably disrespectful and childish actions in response to a dispute between us marred the entire stay. As an example, during the course of a discussion, she literally imitated the sex sounds of my partner (I have proof if you'd like to know more). Not to mention she willfully intruded on our privacy by opening the basement door–KNOWING that I was resting in bed with my partner–out of SPITE. This is the kind of person you will be dealing with. CALM BEGINNINGS The following is a play-by-play of the dispute that ultimately showed Maura's true character: I arrived in mid-September per our agreement. At that time, she gave me a rundown of the place, at which point I mentioned that my girlfriend will visit me during my stay. Fast forward about two weeks to September 29, when my girlfriend completely surprised me by flying from California and arriving at my doorstep on a Friday night. Like any couple in love, we made love. She then stayed with me for 14 days. SUBVERSIVE INTENTIONS Unbeknownst to me, Maura heard us that night, and in other instances following that. Instead of communicating to me that our sounds were disruptive, Maura waited until October 8 to tell me that "I have to charge an additional 50$/night for longer than a short visit. . . Thnx for understanding." Her basis? Because I did not inform her of my girlfriend's stay per the house rules. I admit that I did not tell Maura my girlfriend was arriving that night and was staying until X date. But even sidestepping the clear text of the house rules that state that extra people incur "No charge," my response is, SO WHAT? Either way, my girlfriend was staying two weeks– whether Maura knew that IN ADVANCE or discovered it, as she did the FIRST NIGHT. So instead of informing me of her hidden accrual charges the day she found out I had a guest, she decided to spring them onto me more than a week later. Keep in mind that I did not hide my girlfriend–my girlfriend met Maura the very next day after she arrived. Maura, interestingly–but not surprisingly–declined to inquire into my girlfriend's stay or provide notice of accruing charges during their encounter. A REAL CLIMAX Maura and I had a discussion on October 11 concerning her plans to charge me. To summarize, while the discussion supposedly concerned Maura's excess water and electricity usage, it was nothing more than a tirade by Maura on how annoyed she was that my parter and I have a lot of sex. She effectively used the water/electricity usage as a mere pretext to charge me more for the sex sounds. And regardless of what was said, it was...
