We didn't get to meet Beth, and only met Brent in passing upon arrival, but we had a brilliant time in their lovely carriage house. The apartment is tastefully, simply and beautifully decorated. It was spotlessly clean and welcoming. We felt at home right away. The place is also full of thoughtful amenities--soap, shampoo and body wash, a bar of soap and sunblock, pens and post-it notes, ziploc bags, extra trash bags, an outlet extender with USB plug ins, coffee and creamer. There was OJ for us, some granola bars, cold water and some condiments. Everything about the set-up is thoughtful and cozy. Although it's not in the heart of the city, the neighborhood is truly lovely and there's lots of what you need within a short, easy walk. Our first night in town we picked up wine and an excellent pizza at nearby spots that Beth and Brent had recommended in their tremendously helpful guide for our stay. The TV worked for watching a bit of Olympic swimming. Uber drivers found the place easily to transport us to and from downtown and the zoo. We fell in love with this place and miss it already! I can't recommend it highly enough.
