READ THIS!
I'm a no nonsense guy and I'm going to give it to you straight up.
Maria is a super soulful lady. She has a very clean nice home. She also has what she wants in her house very clearly stated. I like that. Clean up after yourself, care for the household. Nothing overboard, just what hopefully you would do in your own home. When you have strangers coming through you need to be clear. Maria does that.
Another thing. Maria is very friendly but she also leaves you alone to do your thing.
There is practically everything available withing a block or two, food, laundry etc.
Previous negative reviews, no. Don't worry about it. A very clean, quiet, comfortable place to stay with a great host.
And lots of kitties to pet. They do not roam the house. But she does look after some of the cats in the area. There's an awesome tabby in the back yard!!
I look forward to returning. Nice place. Even nicer host.
