My stay with Marie was my first Airbnb experience. It also wasn't a typical "couple night stay" - I was in the process of relocating from San Jose to out of state and needed accommodations for 3 weeks. I couldn't have made a better selection from the long list of options in the area. Marie's home is in a beautiful park-like setting and centrally located for easy access to shopping, dining, entertainment, etc. The best part of picking Marie's place is Marie! She is super nice and always checking in to ensure you have everything you need. She gives you plenty of privacy - often I felt like I had the place to myself. Her patio is a peaceful sanctuary where you can enjoy your morning coffee or a meal. I highly recommend Marie's place and especially, Marie as a fantastic Airbnb host! I will be traveling back to the Bay Area for work and will not hesitate to stay with Marie - hopefully her place will be available when I'm in the area!
