Mary Sue was a gracious and pleasant host who made every effort to make my stay at her home as comfortable and convenient as possible. The apartment was as described, so I did not expect something newly remodeled and updated. But it was very clean with the amenities promised (like an elevator). Mary Sue was very helpful in providing information regarding where to shop and how to navigate local transportation. Although I was sharing her apartment, I felt I had privacy and in no way did my presence feel intrusive on hers.
