Marjorie was a great host. She was an excellent communicator before, during and even after our visit (Marjorie just mailed us a power cord that we left behind), and even though we met only once in person, we always felt that she was available. The well-appointed room is a good size for two people, and the bathroom is particularly spacious for a studio. As others have written, you can sometimes hear activity upstairs, but it was not a problem for us (it actually gave us a homey feeling). Marjorie even came down to check if the noise from her children was too loud, and we appreciated her sensitivity. Marjorie clearly wants her guests to feel comfortable. We took full advantage of the location near Japantown and upper Fillmore -- there was great food all around. Some parts of the neighborhood might seem a little gritty if you are not used to living in an urban area (we are used to it), but we felt safe, and that was the most important thing. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and we hope to return!
