Marianne was a superb host. She communicated extra travel information to prepare us for our trip before we arrived. Kept track of our travel until we arrived. Carefully instructed us about the apartment. The apartment had all the amenities and small luxuries of home. Everything for breakfast (including organic half and half!) was ready and waiting. The apartment was perfect for our family of 4. The bedrooms were on the back of the house, separated from the living area by a small hall, which made them quiet when some of us were napping and some were watching tv.
