This delightfully quirky cottage house is located in a mature, peaceful neighbourhood populated by charming, eclectic, modestly scaled but absolutely beautiful old California homes. Professionally designed and maintained landscaping is the standard here - lemon trees, magnolias and other spectacular ornamental trees abound amongst the redwoods, with low walls, pathways, and accent lighting everywhere. The historic Allied Arts Guild is a couple of doors down.
The lights and heat were off when I arrived, adding to a true cottage experience. Furnishings were spare and reminiscent of student housing, but perfectly comfortable.
The house itself is charming with no shortage of oddities to explore, from the play room behind the closet in the bedroom upstairs, to the hidden closet in the dining room, to the old cellar steps which down lead to a concrete crib amongst an expanse of dirt underneath the uninsulated main floor.
Highly recommend this unique AirBnB experience, while it lasts!
