This place exceeded my expectations of an airbnb hosting style. My friend and I had no problem with check in procedures, everything was extremely clean, directions were very clear and super easy to follow. I am pretty bad with directions myself, so if I was able to follow the step by step directions given to me by Jonathan & Cindy, that's saying something! Jonathan and Cindy are also very quick to respond back. We had some trouble with the house i.e. circuit breaks (that was on us since we didn't realize the extremity of using the same circuit outlet for multiple generators) but Jonathan and Cindy responded very fast and helped us turn it back on. The shower curtain stick also fell down when we got there but Jonathan and Cindy offered to bring in a new one right away! We were both extremely thankful for their kindness and time to do that for us.
Pros about this place:
- the style and decor about this place is amazing and very attention to detail. Really makes you feel at home! I usually feel incredibly foreign at new places or sleeping at a new area, but with the style of the home and the comfort of the amenities, my friend and I had an amazing "homey" comforting time here.
- Everything was extremely clean
- Hosts were super fast at responding
- Complimentary hot chocolate/oatmeal/tea (hot chocolate mmmmm)
- Easy to follow directions
- Closeby to a lot of SD attractions (we spent most of our time at old town, so that was super fun!)
- very cute interior designs
- very housewarming (they wrote my name and said welcome, and listed all the attractions of what to do near or in SD, I appreciate the tiny details!)
- Wifi was fast and easy to connect
- TV is really nice with all the pluses (netflix, hulu, peacock, amazon prime, etc.)
- Non smoking house!
- free parking and super close to unit!
Cons:
- Although this is a non-smoking complex, the hallway/building smells of smoke/other drugs right away as you step into the building. Didn't bother me since when you enter the complex itself, it was free of the smell. But just wanted to make note of that for future reservations incase of health complications you may have.
- parking was free but it's a bit tiny and there are poles/cars you'd really have to look out for to not bump into (Jonathan and Cindy does mention to be careful when parking/leaving the parking). My car is pretty tiny (nissan versa) but the parking is pretty compact and hard to get out the structure.
Aside from those two cons, we had an amazing time here regardless! I don't mind at all about those tiny cons and will definitely make sure to come back to book this place when I am in SD. One of the best experiences I've had yet! Thank you Jonathan & Cindy for being amazing hosts! I really enjoyed my time here. Best of success to you both for your future reservations.
