My range of reviews is the full 1 to 5 stars, where 1 is "I left early" and 5 is "I could live here". I give few 5 stars, but this place was an EASY 5 stars. The interior space is gorgeous, with beautiful pictures, prints, books, and furniture. The back yard has a wonderful picnic table. The two bedrooms are a nice size, with a small desk in each one. One even has a sofa! The living room and kitchen are large, and the kitchen is well appointed with utensils and supplies. The hot water is hot and plentiful, and you will never get cold with the heating system! The owners responded within minutes or, in some cases, seconds. It has a driveway.
And, location: very quiet, minutes from a trail, minutes from downtown, with the beautiful mount wilson right behind you. The sun lights it up at sunset, it's fantastic.
Finally, there's been a lot of renovation, carefully done to preserve the feel of the place, but also done in a way as to add new touches where needed: stove, dishwasher, kitchen sink, quality fume hood for the stove, back door, kitchen window, Nest thermostat, and so on. But I loved that the doorbell was the original 1950s item, still going strong!
I could go on and. But I hope you get the drift. Every time I come to this area I'm going to try to get back to this AirBNB.
