Maya’s place is in a great location. It’s walkable to nearby neighborhoods if you’re okay with hills. Staying here just requires you to accept that it’s a basement- like everyone says, short ceilings, not a ton of windows, sounds from upstairs, and there are some bugs that I just don’t think can be avoided with any basement. But it’s a solid home base for travel and we had no issues with parking and didn’t hear the construction noise. I wouldn’t say it’s pristinely clean like other places I’ve stayed, but we also didn’t stay in the space much and opted to be out adventuring. We also loved the bed which was more firm in a world where so many Airbnbs have super soft mattresses.
It’s a small touch but the soap products did not have heavy scents, which I really appreciate as a person who gets allergies from some scents. We also used the washer and dryer without realizing how handy that would be and that’s a unique feature. I’m not sure it’s always available but we did have the option to check in early for a small fee, which is really awesome and not something I’ve had offered at other spots.
