Overall, I can't give Marianne a good review. To be fair the house is clean with good access to public transportation. I appreciated the free coffee in the morning. It might be good in the short-term. However, I never felt welcome. Guests are generally treated as an inconvenience. The unspoken rule is that guests should stay in their rooms as much as possible. They aren't tolerated in the living and barely in the kitchen. Although it says full access to kitchen, guests are discouraged from using it. Most likely she won't make room for you in her packed, full-size family fridge either. She charges $10 per load of laundry which is higher than any laundromat around. Additionally, since Marianne doesn't have a bedroom herself and sleeps on the couch, she stores all her clothes in her guests' rooms, meaning that every time she wants to change her clothing, she will come in your room when you arent there. Opening a drawer full of her personal items can be rather awkward as a friend of mine observed. Personally, I left early. After I handwashed three dresses in the sink and hung them in the bathroom and adjusted the aircon, Marianne's son thought it was appropriate to yell at me at 1140 pm at night for these offenses when I had work the next day. That's when I realized the situation was toxic and left. Before leaving, I chatted with the other tenants about how we didn't like living there and bonded over it. It was a stressful situation, but I couldn't ask for better hosts that the ones I am currently staying through AirBnB. They cooked us breakfast before we had to meet with Marianne's son to convince him to give us back the money we were owed. The contrast couldn't be higher. Overall, only stay here short term and only if you can't find anything else. Also, if you pay for a guest to stay with you, don't give money in advance. You deserve to have wonderful, welcoming people to be your hosts, like the ones I have now.
