I stayed at Maya's while visiting my adult daughter who lives in Brooklyn. She joined me in staying at Maya's place. Great location, nice, simple and enjoyable place to lodge. The spiral staircase to the basement bedroom was a tight fit - would be tough if you are a large person or an older adults uncomfortable with spiral stair - worked fine for me (53, 6 ft tall and 200 pounds). There's one queen bed in the basement. My daughter slept on the couch in the living room, though its narrow. There is an extra mattress in the basement bedroom that could be placed on the floor if desired, but I wasn't sure how easy it would be to get up the spiral stair. I didn't meet Maya, but she was courteous, helpful and kind in all of our correspondence.
