We had a great time at Marshall's place: he is a really nice and helpful host! Everything was clean, the bed/mattress was superb, and the location is great for trips up and down the windward coastline - everything is close and easily reached by car. I am not really used to being around animals, but Marshall's two dogs and his cat are very lovable animals (as well as being cute ) and are very well behaved. We would go back again in a heartbeat.
