Mara is very responsive through text and I really appreciate her letting me check-in early. When I first arrived to the property, I was not expecting a guesthouse, but the interior of the house and the yard looked exactly like the photos. The location is quiet and conveniently located next to several eateries. Cafe Brazil was only an eight minute walk away and their parking is limited so that's a huge plus. I chose to stay at Mara's property because it was close to work, pet friendly, and it had a private yard with a cute garden for my dog to roam freely. I especially loved the three entrances to the house from the yard, and all the windows surrounding the house for natural light to come in.
