I loved staying at Marie's place. It felt like home away from home. I was in town for my daughter's volleyball games at SMU over Thanksgiving and kept talking to my daughter about "my place". It was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, quiet, very comfortable bed, super close to SMU - a great place to come back to and relax. The kitchen was well stocked - I was even able to make something to bring to our Thanksgiving feast. In fact you could cook full meals there if you were so inclined. Marie also left some starter snacks/foods there if you didn't get to the grocery store right away. loved the place. I'd come back in a heartbeat!!
