Marion was a wonderful host! I can't provide enough praise. She waited for us after we got much too lost on our way there. Saying that, I would suggest a map. The house was even more beautiful then the pictures and rather roomy. There's a nice corner store down the street. Plenty of metro stations are nearby. We did stay over a weekend, which was rather loud with multiple parties going on. There is a school nearby during the day which was also loud, but didn't bother us at all, mostly since we weren't there during the day.
