Thanks so much for an enjoyable stay! This place is small and cozy, but it packs a lot of amenities within a limited amount of space. I enjoyed the kitchen and everything it came with (including tea kettle and toaster oven), and I appreciated the ceiling fan in the bedroom as well. The small table by the door was perfect to do work on! And, I also loved the wood floors throughout! It's such a cute little place, and comfortable enough for two.

The location does face an alley, but safety is not a huge issue because this is an extremely safe city! What might be an issue for some could be the parking (there's only one spot, and since it's an alley, the next available spot is on the adjacent street), or the occasional alley noise right at your door (like trash pickup). We had two cars and I ended up parking on a street nearby. It's free to park, but just watch out for no-parking days, and remember to move your car every day. The neighbors whose house I parked in front of did not like my car sitting there for two straight days and made some phallic drawings on my car's condensation/dust. It's kinda funny if you don't care, but just a word of caution if you do care.

That said, the location is also great for going to the beach, restaurants, and farmers market (all walkable, which is why I didn't move my car for a few days).
