I stayed at Marc's home with a group of 11 women over St. Patrick's Day weekend. The were some real pluses: clean, open kitchen, lofty and well-decorated rooms, and an easy-to-use tv/sound system. I also appreciated that Marc was quick to respond to questions ahead of our arrival.

Unfortunately, our group did not come away feeling positively overall.

The biggest issues were that we encountered distinct cleanliness concerns at the house, and the neighborhood did not feel safe - we had trouble getting cabs to pick us up after we gave them the address, and we were warned by cabbies, and locals we met, against walking anywhere nearby. After contentious interactions, our sense is that Marc has now taken our feedback, and adjusted his listing accordingly to more accurately reflect the accommodations, but it made for a negative experience.

At the end of the day, we didn't feel as though our stay was worth the high price we were charged. As a result, we'd highly recommend any prospective guests read the listing very carefully, particularly to determine if the aerobed sleeping situation and location are what your group is looking for.
