Maria's place was very cozy and in a good location. You can reach subway lines very easily as well as grocery stores. We only met Maria shortly in person, but she was easy to communicate with. We also met her mum, one dog and her other roommate. The bed is indeed very soft and you can hear the traffic at night, but both things did not bother us at all. What I personally loved is that Maria's door on the hallway was the only one with Christmas decorations. It made me feel even more welcome. I would recommend a stay!
