I enjoyed my stay in the small back house. It was clean and had everything I needed to cook. The host replied quickly and tended to my questions fast and tried to remedy issues as promptly as they could. One note, the walls are thin! During my stay I could hear full conversations from the front and side homes (with windows and doors closed) and I’m sure they could hear me too! One of the rooms must have the kitchen from the front house on the other side because I could hear water running and lots of noise. There was also a side door right next to the window in that same room (you could hear this too throughout the day and night). Unfortunately, due to the walls being thin I was unable to sleep during two nights of my stay due to the front family being up past midnight and 1am. Since the room was right there, I could hear them enjoying conversation and cleaning. I don’t think there is a way to prevent the noise due to the thin walls. Again, I’m positive they heard me too during my stay.
The home was clean and had pots, pans, dishes, simple spices, shampoo/conditioner, towels, extra tissue, cleaning supplies, one Roku tv (common area), dinning table, stove, Full refrigerator, some bake wear, cutting boards, silverware and cooking utensils.
Rooms: both have two beds, one is a trundle type bed (full/twin) and the other is a bunk bed (full/twin). No TVs or dressers (but there are hangers in each closet). AC in both rooms and common area. Portable heaters in both rooms (heater was off during my stay, but host has extra space heaters if you ask). There’s also an iron and board, clothes drying rack and blow dryers.
Common area: there’s no separate living room from the dinning area and kitchen (it’s all one room) there was a couch but you have to move it around to face the TV and one small couch in one of the rooms (one couch was broken during my stay but it wasn’t a big deal since there was another one-it was small but helped). Due to the space a big couch would not fit in here.
Parking- there’s one parking spot for a guest and other cars need to park on the street. Due to the location, there’s lots of apartments on this street and parking gets harder to find as the evening gets closer (if you have to park on the street). The parking spot is in the back right in front of home. But it’s very tight! Be prepared to back out of the narrow drive way and during my stay there were other cars parked there making it too hard to reverse and go forward so again you’ll need to back out Most likely.
