I stayed with Maya for a week in September 2015. Maya is an amazing and very warm human being. From the moment I stepped in, I felt I was at home. Maya's house has warm colors all over. The room I stayed in with private bathroom was very comfortable with working desk, storage space and lots of light. I loved the bed and slept soundly every night.

The neighborhood is very quiet and just a 10 min walk to downtown. She has an outside patio which is very nice to sit and work. Maya has nice coffee machines, which was very essential for me :).

The best thing about her place is the chance to meet other people going through. During the stay, I met with an encryption expert, 3 japanese college students building products for water harvesting, and a swiss couple traveling to California. And yet on days I was very tired, it was easy to retire into my room and get quiet time.

Maya was very kind and flexible with respect to my arrival and departure times and took time to show me things/give recommendations etc. Before I arrived, it was also super easy to communicate with her. She was very prompt in responding to my queries.

I will highly recommend her place.
