Yani and Crystal were very communicative before and during our trip. Our rental experience was different than the norm. My wife and I weren't on vacation. We live in the area and needed to move out for 12 days while work was being done to our house. Because we have a cat and dog, we figured AirBNB would be a good alternative. Yani and Crystal were agreeable to hosting us, pets and all. The unit's clean, and shows some wear and age. But it's perfectly comfortable and quiet. The little notes they have posted throughout the unit are witty and informative.

Parking can be slightly challenging, as there's only street parking available and there's street cleaning Wed and Thur mornings. But we never had to park more than a 5-minute walk away during our 12 nights in the unit.

To be honest, the neighborhood was slightly off-putting. There's no sidewalk on one side of the street -- just a dirt path. And the unit's near some massive power lines -- the kind that you can hear crackling when you walk underneath them. But those weren't deal-breakers. Just trying to paint an accurate picture.

All in all, we had a nice, comfortable stay at Yani and Crystal's place, which our cat and dog enjoyed, too!
