Mary was warm, welcoming, and an all-around great host. Staying here is to be one of the family, and if you're a pet lover, you'll feel right at home. The location was ideal; easy walking distance to the North Loop and Northeast, which are two great locations to explore for dining, shopping, and entertainment. I have always wondered what it would be like to live on this little island, in this quaint neighborhood in the heart of the city. Just as I suspected, it was wonderful.
