Stayed here for a little over a week and the space was well suited for what we needed. It was central to where we needed to go (mostly in the SVG) and was easy to get to/from off the I-10 while not being too close to traffic noises. The pictures are an accurate reflection of the space and it was well stocked with cooking supplies, coffee pot, etc. We came prepared with cleaning and upkeep supplies and Marlene had everything stocked and ready for us – including toilet paper and freshly washed sheets. She even set it up with fresh flowers and snacks, which was a nice touch.
There are rules to booking this Airbnb, so be mindful of this. The outside space is equipped with multiple security cameras, which notifies Marlene when there’s any motion. I know this because Marlene saw us on one of the cameras and texted immediately with a concern, which we cleared up with a call. Marlene was accommodating as much as possible and communicative throughout the time we were there. For example, I asked if we could have a family gathering and she explained how a previous guest had a gathering that violated the local city ordinance, and she was fined. We did not end up doing the gathering here, out of respect to Marlene.
The only additional thing to know is that a few neighbors have dogs that bark.
