Marie's place was just as shown in the pictures, a nice studio apartment with some good amenities. Some things to note as you prepare for this trip/stay at Marie's place. There is limited space in the apartment and because of that you have to cook and/or prep food on the table outside on the lanai. Secondly, if you do any food prep there is no sink (other than the bathroom sink) to wash dishes. So if you plan to eat out a lot or just make a bagel/coffee in the morning this is a good place to stay. If you like to bring home food and cook I'd recommend finding a place with a full kitchen/more prep space.
