Maryanne’s place was better than I expected. The room is HUGE, with its own bathroom, and spotless. The WIFI was good and there is a bus stop right outside the house (though I chose to rent a car, which was well worth it). She has a very friendly dog as well. I prefer to be self-sufficient on these holidays, but I’m sure she would have been readily available with suggestions of places to visit etc. Lastly, though her house is a little out from the city centre, this should not put anybody off as there is a bus service right to it, and car hire is very inexpensive. So overall I would heartily recommend a stay at Maryanne’s place.
