Marlene's place is perfectly appointed; feels both like a hotel and a home with the best of each. Marlene thought through all the details for a great stay and it is the cleanest place we have ever stayed! Marlene proactively checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and we felt welcomed and cared for yet independent in our coming and going. The kitchenette was lovely and easily shared among the guests. Parking was a plus but if you don't have a car, the location is within walking distance of the bus to get to the T as well as Trader Joes!
