Marion made me feel right at home from the minute I stepped into her place. She had all the resources I needed for my self-guided tour of the city: maps, brochures, and a showering of veteran advice. My first morning, I woke up to find she'd left me a bowl of granola and yogurt with fruit to start my day—just one of many moments of delightful surprises in this warm and friendly city. As a woman traveling alone in a new city, I felt super safe traveling at home after dark in Marion's neighborhood, and even tried my hand at the local transportation with her bike, which she generously leant me one evening. Marion is a delight and the room I had all to myself was a dream. My only regret is not spending more time in her beautiful courtyard—right outside the room I stayed in!
