Overall I recommend James’ place. In particular:
- Great value and price
- super communicative and ultra-responsive hosts
- stunning setting with amazing views and serene surroundings
- comfortable bed and living room
- very clean
- kitchen and coffee maker in good working order
- great mini deck to have morning coffee/zoom calls
- good WiFi
James was also really helpful when there was a problem with the A/C amidst a very hot week, which is now fixed. A few things to be aware of as you decide whether it’s for you:
- it’s about 15-20 min up some winding and hilly roads from 280 so you need to pay attn driving at night (and phone reception spotty, as you’d expect in the hills)
- it’s a finished suite over a barn so the heat rises (lovely in winter I’m sure) but also sharp sloping ceilings on both sides, so if you’re 6’1” or more might be tight
- shower is very small and tight (but good water pressure)
