Marilu' is an excellent hostess and went beyond the call of duty with helping us with our opera tickets and with our luggage! This was my first Airbnb experience and I am afraid we may have overstepped with the use of the kitchen. We had to enter the owner's private residence to share the kitchen which was awkward as their door is always closed to keep the kitty in and we woke them up once when trying to get some ice water late at night....sorry Marilu'! The location of the apt is very convenient and there is a nice teapot and cookies always at hand in the room itself. The sofabed was comfortable and the air conditioning was quite a blessing during a terrible heat wave.
