Marcus tried to accommodate an earlier check-in at 1 p.m. instead of 3 p.m. with us as we had a red eye the previous night. Communication with his was good; he was responsive and it was very kind that he tried to accommodate. The attempted earlier check in didn't work as hoped as we showed up as the cleaning woman was still there. She quoted us at 15-20 minutes longer and then took almost an hour to finish while we waited on the porch with our bags. It was a bit uncomfortable and we would have rather been told 3 p.m. and gone to lunch or something rather than waiting outside for over an hour. By the time we were actually allowed inside, it was closer to 3 p.m. than 1 p.m.

Once we got in, everything was as described and comfortable. The bed was great. The roosters were not ideal across the street, but they gave the visit some character. The neighborhood was fine, within walking distance. Overall, our experience was good after we were let inside.
