Room and balcony are as described/photographed.
The shared areas however, have a very different (busier) decoration style. Reading other past reviews people have also described it as “eclectic” or “funky”, in a neutral or positive tone.
This comes down to personal preference of course, and I would have appreciated to know this beforehand in order to make my choice.
I decided to cut my stay short for that reason. I had an early start (6:30am) but I informed Mary later on that same day.
For future bookings I will make sure to only book accommodations where all shared areas of the house are photographed.
I hope this helps inform future bookings. I would still recommend Mary’s place if you like (or don’t mind) collectables and busy spaces!
