We live in the neighborhood and stayed at Mary's rental for over a month while our house was on the market. Mary has a very warm demeanor and goes out of her way to ensure you are comfortable. She was always very responsive. The house is very functional for long-term stays - kitchen full of anything you need for cooking (and we cook almost every meal) and plenty of bedding/towels. The house is surrounded by large trees and a peaceful stream in the back. The house has a retro feel but the description does not advertise it as a super updated house. Everything works and it has a lot of charm!
