I found Marina's home to be the perfect resting spot while traveling and visiting other friends. I could chat with Marina and/or the other guests, or not. My room was just right, the shared bathroom was totally clean and never a problem. The Firefly espresso shop, with excellent food, was just a short walk away. (the Firefly is pretty much a local's place, being off the main street, and no big signs or catchy slogans) I would certainly recommend a stay at Marina's home.
