I stay in Maria’s place for 8 nights. She is a very warm and sweet lady. Because my train arrived late in the first night, Maria came to pick me up at train strain. Even I don’t speak Spanish, we had no problem in communications at all. Her place is comfortable with a nice kitchen open for her guests. We cooked 2 dinners together with other quests and I really enjoyed having conversations with Maria. It’s easy to go to downtown by light rail train or Uber. Also you can walk there and it takes about 20-25 mins. I am very happy to stay with Maria and I will stay with her again if I ever had a chance to come here again :)
