We loved staying at Maria's place. Maria and her husband were very kind. Our airline lost our luggage and it was a huge hassle contacting the airline and getting out bags delivered( the phone number given to us by the airline was a special number that you can not call with prepaid cell phone). Maria and her husband let us borrow their phone, kept their eyes open for the delivery people, etc.
The apartment had all the things you would need plus some extra things, like juice in the fridge, water, chocolate croissants, etc that made it more personal and welcoming.
Maria was a wonderful host and I wished I could speak Spanish so that I could talk more with her.
