Marina is a warm and gracious hostess, and was concerned with my well being and comfort during my stay. Her home is clean and orderly. Since there can be up to 4+ guests at a time, room doors are lock-able, which is a plus. I was a bit concerned about four female guests and one bathroom, but luckily, it worked out ok :). People do come and go at different hours, much like a hotel, so if you are early to bed or early to rise, wear ear plugs (good advice for any traveler, really). I would definitely recommend staying in one of the rooms at Marnia's home.
