I ended up loving Marie's place and would definitely stay there again. At first I got a slightly bad impression because I hadn't followed Marie's advice to look up the place on Google maps before my arrival. Please do not make my mistake: look up the "address" on Google maps before you head over to the apartment! The address that I received looked like a street number and a street name, but it is not; it is an apartment number and a building name. There was not a street number, as it turns out. When I later checked Google maps, plugging the "address" in as written, Google seemed to understand the address and to know where the building was. The taxi driver also was not able to decipher the address and simply left us off in the basic area where he thought the apartment probably was. Again, if I had followed Marie's advice and looked at Google maps before my arrival, I would not have had any trouble. Even though I arrived quite late, Marie was very gracious and helpful when I called saying that I couldn't figure out where the apartment was. She stayed on the phone with me until I found it; she would ask what I was near and then direct me where to go--very helpful! Marie was also helpful during our stay when I was having some difficulty ordering take out and also when I wanted to extend my stay a little. She was always so responsive and kind! The apartment itself was sweet, once I got used to the main door of the apartment opening into a little hallway of the apartment. The bedroom was comfortable, and there was space to hang clothes. The living room was also very comfortable. I really liked the kitchen, with its stone counters, convenient layout, and great selection of pans that were in new condition. The neighborhood also ended up being fabulous. When I was wandering around lost at night,I didn't like that it didn't seem very residential, but as it turns out, if you walk to the left out the front door of the building, you're in a residential neighborhood. To the right and directly across the street, there are office buildings. The office buildings were off-putting initially, but then I really appreciated them and the whole neighborhood. Apparently some of the areas closer to Trinity University can be quite noisy at night, but Marie's place was really quiet and peaceful. The 15 min walk to the University from Marie's goes through St. Stephen's Green, which is such a lovely park, and also through an outdoor mall, shopping area. Thank-you, Marie, for a wonderful stay!
