We enjoyed our stay at Marlyn's a lot! There're so many nice things to say about the place and the host. Here we go:
1. it's very convenient. located 10mins walk from metro station. and L train takes your pretty much wherever you wanna go.
2. it's a really nice and safe neighborhood, we feel safe walking around when it's dark outside
3. Marlyn and her husband is the most amazing people! they stuffed the refrigerator with A LOT of food, provide us with everything in the bathroom, ironing board, you name it! She responded to our questions and concern very quickly and provided us with ample information we need. She even offer to print our boarding pass, can any host get better than this huh?
4. The house is spacious and accommodates our party of 8 really well. the only thing I wish is that there're washer/dryer in the apartment. But this is just a really minor downside.

You won't regret a bit if you choose to stay here!
