We needed a place to stay during some work on our house so needed a functional kitchen and enough room for our little one to run around. The kitchen had most of the basics and even cooking ingredients like sea salt and oil. Alan was also willing to provide other supplies we needed. It was nice to have a changing table for our kid and other basic amenities like shampoo and body wash. And it was sweet that Alan left our little snacks for us to enjoy. Also, big plus that there is a parking spot in front of the house since street parking is a challenge.
