Marlena offers a quiet, impeccably clean and comforting nest close to the San Carlos quaint downtown area. She thought of extra details - a welcome note, waters in the fridge, labeled drawers, a first aid kit, and a hair dryer. She has a notebook of highlights in the area, which I found helpful and even visited during my short stay. The check-in was easy and had a nice interchange with Marlena. The garden and fountain are beautiful with the opportunity to sit outside in a peaceful setting. This is definitely a great place to rest and relax close to other parts of the Bay area. Maureen P.
