The location, for someone who didn't have a car, is little out of the way. Dauntingly steep slopes to climb, decent grocery stores 20-30 min walk.
Being long stay guests we wanted to cook a lot. Marianne's kitchen is small and ancient, with 4-coil stove (which we used a lot) and dishwasher and oven both of which we didn't dare to operate. A small wooden plank and 4 hard metal stools is the dining area. We didn't eat a single meal on it in our 30 days stay. The storage area in the kitchen is tiny whereas we had a lot of provisions, spices, fruits and snacks for our month long stay.
Having said that, Marianne is a kind and very responsive host. During our stay whatever we asked - like a sharp knife, some food storage containers, hooks to hang clothes, she was always prompt to provide. After our stay, she even agreed to hold our excess luggage when we went for a 10-day road trip.
