Marlene's home was lovely and welcoming. We (my mother and I) arrived fairly late at night, but she was very flexible with our arrival time (we kept her updated). She had everything ready for us. She had to leave in the morning for a class, but laid out breakfast for us before she left. Also, her little dog Zoey is very sweet, if a little timid. This was my first time using Airbnb, and Marlene left a very good impression.
