When you stay in the Garden Room, you are going to experience one of the finest of airbnb! I was here for a week for my schooling (but I live in the SoCal area) and let me tell you, I immediately felt like I was at home. Thea is such a great host and made sure to include snacks, toiletries, and coffee as extra amenities. The room itself is so cozy and cute. Sometimes I could hear conversations but that happened maybe once or twice out of the whole week (and I was home pretty much the whole time!) I do see others' reviews talking about the street noise- yes you will hear cars passing by and maybe the neighbors occasionally but keep in mind, this is still a city! It isn't tucked away in the middle of nowhere. The noise didn't bother me so much but my overall stay was so pleasant and provided exactly what I needed so that I could concentrate and focus! I will DEFINITELY be staying here again in the near future! Thanks again Thea for one of the best airbnb experiences!
