We chose this spot for a few, very specific reasons: it’s was central to all the places and people we wanted to visit, it was in a familiar & safe area of the city, and it had three bedrooms. Everything else was a nice to have.
It was extra nice to have a garage. That’s certainly a bonus. It’s great that renters get the chance to use it.
The beds are really comfortable. I slept REALLY well both nights and my wife and daughters did, as well.
The convenience of the Canyon Country Store (less than a mile away) can’t be overstated. Although it’s really not far or hard to drive down to Ralph’s on Sunset, it’s way easier just to pop into the CCS when they’re open. And they’re local, so it feels like you’re doing something good for the community.
The spiral staircase to the lower bedroom and garage is VERY tight and difficult to maneuver if you’re carrying anything larger than a soda can. If you’re not sure of foot or have trouble negotiating stairs or hills, using the downstairs BR wont be for you. We’re an athletic/fit family, so my wife and I didn’t have a problem with it and my teenage daughters thought is was a cool, fun feature.
The shower in the larger of the two bathrooms is spacious and, even with California water restrictions, is a great shower. The smaller bathroom shower, however, has some limitations. I’m 5’11”, fit, and weigh 185lbs and this was REALLY tight for me. Both my daughters (both under 5’6” and fit) said they liked this shower, so it seems to work for smaller folks. Not a dealbreaker, for sure, but worth noting if you’re planning for two couples or several adult guests.
Ultimately, I highly recommend the place and would stay there again.
