Sean's place was exactly what I was looking for.
Pros:
1. The place is very unique and provided an experience.
2. It is a set back behind the street and another home so I felt safe.
3. I was working most of the time so the 2 floors provided a change of scenery.
4. The koi pond was pretty awesome.
5. The deck had a spot for my hammock
5. There is a designated work space (desk and chair) and strong WiFi
6. It really is your own space and you don't have to share a wall with another tenant
7. It is within walking distance to restaurants. The Thai place was my favorite- the egg rolls are amazing.
8. Sean was responsive and provided a hairdryer, new pans, new utensils, and a new shower caddy.
Cons: you will want to pass on this place if:
1. If noise from the airport and freeway is going to bother you
2. If you have trouble walking up/ down indoor or outdoor steps
3. If showering outside is not your thing
4. If sharing a washer/ dryer with other tenants will bother you
5. If you want to park close to the rental
None of these things were an issue for me.
This is one of the few places that I can honestly say I'll rent again. It's a good value for the price.
