Six of us stayed at Marianne's from June 14th to the 19th. Her place is exactly as advertised: clean, well-stocked, close to the beach, and close to public transportation. Even though we were delayed at the airport and arrived at her house later than expected, she greeted us warmly. She is clearly a gracious host who cares that the people renting her place are satisfied. She also made herself available by phone during our entire stay. Because her place is so close to the ocean, we enjoyed morning walks/runs on the beach. The tram line a half-block from her house goes right downtown, so that was convenient on the days we didn't want to drive. If you are looking for a relaxing place away from the hustle and bustle of the wharf area, this is a great choice.
