We had a wonderful long-term stay at Erick's place. It is cheery and was a great location for us because it was within walking distance of our daughter's home. There are great food options within a hilly mile walk. And the neighborhood is residential, nice to walk around in the evenings and see the views. The unit is the first floor of a house that has another unit on the second floor. We were there during very hot weather and the window air conditioner in the living room worked well. Also, there are trees around the outside that shade the unit from the sun.
Some things that might be useful to know:
-There is no window in the small bedroom, a small fan is provided for air flow.
-The bed was comfortable but bouncy, my husband and & I were aware of each other's movements and kept waking each other up. But, we are used to a king bed at home.
-The house is on a very steep hill, and you are parallel parking on the street. Several evenings we couldn't find parking on the street by the house and had to park several blocks away, which then means you are hiking up the hill to the house. Parking seems to be an issue in the neighborhood and the street fills up in the evenings. Parking is only allowed across the street, not on the side where the house is.
-There is another house directly behind on the same lot, and they use the same front walk as this unit. There were many interactions with them (very friendly) and their dogs. But there is also a noise factor (barking, & parties on the weekend). It didn't bother us, and the bedroom is in the front so we couldn't really hear the noise when we went to bed with the fans on. The dogs occasionally showed up on our patio.
-There are about 8 stairs from the street to the front door.
-The kitchen is fully supplied, and there were nice thoughtful touches that we appreciated.
-The lemon tree by the front door has delicious lemons!
This place worked out well for us, thank you, Erick, for a delightful stay!
