I cannot possibly say enough good things about Maya and her home! What a sweet little oasis in the middle of the city! Maya and her great kids made our stay so memorable - not to mention the fresh-picked mangos that we ate greedily. First wonderful surprise was that they saved us a parking spot inside the fence, I had been worried about parking on their street, but they took good care of us. Maya gave me a nice tour of the house (there's laundry!), which involved several steep stairs (not a problem for us, but worth noting for others), and into the apartment. I was shocked from the second she opened the door - it was SO much nicer than I was expecting! Just beautiful! And the kitchen was filled with so many treats and cooking supplies that I felt like we were really staying in a friend's home. There is no AC, but the fan in the bedroom was more than adequate, and we were there during the hottest summer on recent record, so anyone staying in the future will be fine, I promise. It was a bit noisy at night (not from the hosts, from street and neighbors) but wasnt too bad considering the busy location in the city.
Also, we were flying standby and were not sure if we could fly home on schedule or not. Maya was SO accommodating to hold the room an extra night for us, and was great with keeping in contact with us the whole time. The apartment was wonderful, but what really made this stay shine was Maya and her family. Thank you for a great stay!
