Marianne is a great host. Honestly, the pictures don't do this place justice! It is very nice inside with /tons/ of amenities. Anything you can think of is provided (even for your pets!) You really feel like a personal guest in her home. The guide book she provides has lots of recommendations and resources--you can even borrow a bus card if you need one. The backyard is great for dogs, and there are tie-out chains in the yard if you have an escape artist. One note for long-term stays: the fridge is a mini-fridge, so you can't have a ton of groceries at once. However, we had no trouble making meals there with all of the kitchen amenities. I enthusiastically recommend Marianne's bungalow.
