We loved our stay in Marie's home. We felt at home right away as we were welcomed with fruit, wine and flowers. Marie was great and very accommodating as we set up the reservation. I wondered if she would be checking in with us throughout the stay since I read that she lived close by but we actually didn't meet her at all. Would have been happy to meet her but it was also fine being left to feel completely autonomous. Marie was very generous with making good on various requests and accommodations and for that I would very much recommend people to stay here and give this home rave reviews. I wasn't very familiar with the Pacific Beach area but I found it really fun and happening as well.
