After we found ourselves out on the street after cancelling out of a toxic (literally and figuratively) apartment, Maya responded immediately to our request. She carried our luggage (we are seniors) up the stairs for us. She made us feel at home with her natural cheerfulness and kindness. Her children are friendly and well-behaved. She also shared an excellent watermelon with us. The place is simple but comfortable, and Maya is a lovely, kind, thoughtful host.
