Anne-Marie is a gracious hostess and her home is beautiful and stylish. The bed in the bedroom was so cushy and lush that I slept like a kiddo, worn out at the end of a day of play. The Hawthorne neighborhood is absolutely awesome and features many bars, taverns, restaurants, and food carts with affordable and diverse meals. There is a grocery store nearby if you need anything. You do share a bathroom with the host and other guests but this had no impact on the quality of my stay, and the bathroom itself is perfectly lovely. Anne-Marie allowed me to store my luggage for an extra day which freed me up to go hiking with some friends. She truly is an above-and-beyond host.
