Marilyn and Ken were super friendly and enjoyable to chat with. They obviously enjoy opening up their space to share with others. The space we used is a separate bachelor apartment that is ground level with it’s own entry. Large sliders and windows allow lots of light and fresh air to come in. There is a covered patio so no worries about rain ever coming in. There is lots of space to spread out in and feel comfortable. The mattress is super soft and was our best sleep so far (our first week in a 2 month stay). We slept great! Also helped that the location is residential and very quiet - away from the busy noisy areas. Marilyn was very kind to provide lots of items in the kitchen to get you settled in before you can do a grocery run; eggs, milk, yogurt, jams, bread, cereals, and more. It’s obvious that she cares that one’s stay is comfortable. The bathroom also had a collection of items such as shampoo and soap. Laundry powder and cleaning supplies were there for us to use. My husband was especially happy to hear the birds singing away in their lush gardens.
