Located in a small cul-de-sac, parking options are above the driveway, along the property wall. If the spot is taken, then the hosts allow you to drive down the steep driveway. We opted to park up top since there wasn’t much space to turn around in the driveway. There are sensor lights when you walk down. If you’re a woman, I wouldn’t recommend wearing any heels trying to walk the steep driveway.
It’s a converted standalone garage but when you walk in, doesn’t appear to be. The place is spacious with high ceilings. I arrived past 1am and check-in was easy and fine. The area was quiet and private. There’s satellite Tv, a queen size bed and comfy couch. It would’ve been nice to have a coffee table or foldable TV tray tables to make eating meals indoors a little easier. The backyard had horse hair/weeds growing between the cracks, a bit concerning if you have allergies as the backyard had way more than what’s in the posted photos. They also have a little table and chair outdoors which makes sitting under the stars romantic although it is a little old and dusty. Once you stand up from the chair, or walk closer to the fence line, you get a nice view of what’s in the photo, but also of business rooftops and parking lots.
The space, beautiful views, privacy and location make the nightly charge worth it. The cleaning fees were excessive compared to other Airbnbs especially with the strict checkout requirements. I felt the hosts should’ve had the place professionally cleaned or at least did a walk through prior to a guest showing up as it was dusty with a couple hanging dust bunnies, a cobweb and spider behind the curtain, and the backyard needs cleaning up. Also the towels appeared cleaned but had a slight mildew smell to it.
I’d recommend the stay if you can overlook the minor flaws.
