My dad and I had an excellent stay at this place, it was just what we needed for our week-long trip. Reasonably priced, as well! Cecilia was responsive to my messages and very kind. Her son Victor (who was in the other, non-AirBNB half of the house) was super friendly and welcoming. Really just two of the nicest people.
The two halves of the house (AirBNB and non-AirBNB) are separate, so you have plenty of privacy. The bathroom and shower were nice. (I love a good shower.) Nice kitchen with a full-size fridge. We didn’t use the living room much, but when we did, it was relaxing to kick back on the couch and watch a movie. Really convenient to have a washer and dryer in the house, too! Running a load of laundry was easy and effective.
The piano wasn’t immediately accessible but easily became so after asking Cecilia and Victor about it; I think they just don’t want people to abuse it, which is totally understandable. It’s an old piano and sounds like it hasn’t been tuned in a while, but my dad enjoyed playing it anyway because it was almost sort of in tune, and definitely had some old-school charm.
The only downside I can think of with the house is that it doesn’t have central heat or air. We stayed in the winter and they had several powerful space heaters, so it wasn’t a problem at all. We even had to turn down the heaters sometimes so we wouldn’t get too hot overnight.
Location-wise, it’s about a 10–15 min walk to the grocery store and pharmacy. So this was very convenient for us, since we didn’t have a car and like walking. It looks like there are a several restaurants around there, too, we just didn’t go to any. The neighborhood it’s in is nice and chill; sometimes we’d just go for a stroll around the neighborhood.
I’d definitely stay at Cecilia’s place again, and feel lucky to have done so!
