We truly appreciated Marina's level of commitment to keeping her rental at a high standard. She personally oversees the properties and is devoted to keeping them attractive and comfortable. As a long-time communications teacher, I was impressed by her recognition of the importance of interpersonal connection in the landlord/client relationship: response to any question or request was virtually immediate. For instance, with no separate workspace for my husband's computer, he was taking over the kitchen table, and Marina actually provided us with a table at which he could "nest" without taking over family space. We will not hesitate to rent from her again and are already planning for next year, assuming restrictions on short-term rentals don't spoil our summer escape to OB.
