I would totally recommend Marilyn's place. The room is amazing. The house is well maintained in general. Also, it was helpful to have parking space at the house.
As a host, Marilyn has been very supportive. I was meant to come earlier. However, due to various circumstances I had to pick up someone at the airport at the last minute. And the issue got complicated when the arrival was severely delayed.
However, Marilyn was quite supportive. She offered to stay until I came so that she could meet me and show me the room. However, since it seemed that I would be arriving very late, she was very understanding and made the reqired arrangements for me to find my room.
Overall, it's been a pleasant experience :)
