We definitely recommend this place. Our reservation had been cancelled the day before our flight and Maria was kind enough to let us stay at a last minute's request. My boyfriend and I stayed with her for a week. She is such a friendly and open person, and we had a lovely time living with her! She was very patient with our arrival being hours later than we had predicted. She even provided breakfast items such as OJ, ham, cookies, bread, cheese, strawberries, butter and milk. She always encouraged us to let her know if there was anything we needed; although laundry (there is a laundromat one block away) wasn't included in the amenities, we texted her and she replied very quickly and let us use her detergent and fabric scented sheet for the dryer anyway. We felt very comfortable. She left home early in the morning and was gone until dinnertime during the weekdays, so we only interacted with her during nights and weekends. The only two features I'd worry about is the space being in the basement and the lack of air conditioning. We both had no signal with AT&T and it can be humid and difficult when the weather reaches the 90s, although there are three powerful fans.
