Although this was my first stay with Marie, it was like staying with a friend of the family -- as if she were friends with my sister, say, and was extending the same care and hospitality to me. Marie helped with rides (though the walk was fine when she didn't), got the tour information I needed, fed me yummy food, and made me feel right at home. I also enjoyed the house with its blend of cozy, antique decor and modern, luxury amenities. The photographs seem very representative, and since the house is spacious, my bedroom felt quite private. It was a real pleasure staying at Marie's house.
