Gil and Mari are wonderful hosts. I stayed with them for two and a half months and enjoyed getting to know them and the other guests. Mari is a great cook who shares leftovers on days she teaches cooking classes. They work music festivals and you can volunteer for them if you're interested in getting a free ticket. They were both really nice when I had some friends visit town and stay with me. The place is cleaned regularly. The location has some great views of the city. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
