Make no mistake, this is an incredibly valued place tucked away in a charming and beautiful part of Corral Canyon - insane views and a lovely area. Chris has an amazing residence, and is an exceptional host and concierge who ensures you are very well taken care of without being intrusive. That being said, there are a few things to be aware of and consider from a property perspective:
First, this unit is the basement (attached) to the host’s family home. You will on occasion hear commotion upstairs (footsteps, chairs, voices, drops, etc.) For us it wasn’t a huge deal and was quite minimal, but we weren’t expecting it. I would suggest changing the name or description to ensure guests realize they are sharing a space below the family (maybe I just missed it in the description).
Second, the outside courtyard is a shared space with the other Airbnb in which case, if someone does stay at the other unit you might be hearing / seeing them as well. In our case we were awoken at 7:00 am to kids and people talking out front of our unit in the courtyard. This only happened once and was accentuated by the need to leave a window open for cool air, and we are light sleepers.
Lastly, which we felt was an amazing positive and one of the reasons this place is so special, it is tucked away up some high winding narrow roads. Just something to be aware of if you are afraid of heights, have a larger vehicle, or are an anxious driver as it is a 5-7 min climb off a main road.
Again, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again. But hopefully this review helps set the right expectations for some going in, as it may not be the best setup for those wanting higher levels of privacy and more than a quaint crash pad. If you can afford the pool suite, do it.
