We are repeat guests and always look forward to staying here! Mary is an incredibly cool host who makes us feel at home, she is very accommodating and also possesses a fabulous design sensibility! The bed & bedroom are very comfortable with lovely bedding, ample closet space, and the living space is large with a private bathroom. It looks like a winter wonderland outside now, and in warmer weather, Mary has a lovely garden and deck. It's a great neighborhood -- walking distance to lakes with running paths, shopping, and restaurants. Also, public transportation is only 20 minutes into the downtown (faster than driving most days)...five stars all the way!
