We felt immediately comfortable at Mary's place. It is perfectly clean (it's a no-shoe space - yay!), uncluttered, and filled with thoughtfulness. The photos truly can't do its loveliness justice. We actually ended our vacation feeling rested because the space was so cozy and home-like that we WANTED to turn in early each night we were there. Mary had provided maps and suggestions for where to go, what to do, and where to eat - and her suggestions were spot-on to our tastes. The place had everything we needed and wonderful little instructions in little notes throughout, so there was no having to figure anything out. This is an upstairs space so it's bright and cheery during the day, and no one is ever stomping overhead.
Also, the area where this is located is quiet and off the beaten path, but still close to the thick of things. It's close to downtown and anywhere else you're going.
I would HIGHLY recommend this space to my closest friends and family.
