We loved Marianne's place! It has been our best stay yet with Airbnb. The location is great, in a cute little neighborhood with lots of trees and birds and life going on. We easily walked to downtown and Harris Teeter, Trader Joes, coffee shops, restaurants and if you don't want to walk, it's a super quick drive. You have your own parking right in the driveway. Marianne provided coffee, cream and sugar and we enjoyed sitting out on the little patio with our morning coffee and visiting with the neighbor's cat and reading through the brochures and magazines that were available to plan our days.
The bathroom was well equipped with all of the necessary amenities and extra towels too for sitting outside or taking on a waterfall picnic or hike. There were 2 bedrooms each with super comfortable beds and all the necessary bedding and fans too. It was so comfortable, we didn't use any AC while we were there, but it was available as were tons of extra blankets for winter guests.
The wifi worked great and there also was Netflix, Hulu and a bunch of other channels available. And there were lots of books and games available as well.
Everything was absolutely perfect with the exception of one thing. This is an older house that was converted into 2 separate spaces, so there is not much sound proofing between the floors. We had issues one night when we were woken up with footsteps. However, once I mentioned it to Marianne, she made sure there were no more incidents with the upstairs tenant between 10pm and 8am.
I highly recommend Marianne's place!
