Marlene's place is truly a gem! From the onset, she was so prompt with her correspondences, I didn't have to suffer through any delays in messaging at all. When I arrived, she welcomed me and showed me everything I needed to know for my stay and was utterly respectful of my privacy. The studio was astoundingly beautiful! Very stylish touches everywhere -- she has a great eye for aesthetics. Every amenity I could've asked for was there -- from irons and electric kettles, to a coffee maker, heaters and a FireStick on the TV -- it was perfect! We enjoyed our stay immensely and were relieved to find it in such an immaculate state, with two amazing bedding options (one firm, and one very soft) and thoughtful toiletries placed in the bathroom. The kids even availed themselves to the fenced in yard (she also provides private, secure parking). I unexpectedly needed to extend my stay, and Marlene was extremely helpful in facilitating that and accommodating my last minute request. Honestly and truly, this was a gem of a place and Marlene was a gem of woman :)
