We didn't get to interact with Marlene much, but she made sure we were all checked in and had everything we needed. Sweet beautiful space and private entrance through the backyard. You may here foot steps because host lives upstairs. Comprehensive kitchenware and spices available for cooking. There's a stovetop but no oven. Some of utensils were dirty so double check to make sure they're clean. Overall space is clean and tidy. We would stay here again. Thanks!
