Stayed at the house with family and friends for a great five nights over Labor Day weekend and everyone was extremely pleased. The house has undergone some excellent renovations recently and the attention to detail in those rooms was clear. The kitchen, with gleaming stainless steel, immediately drew our attention and ended up being one of the social focal points. Other positives: Beds were comfortable, showers were hot, living spaces were comfortable and dogs were welcome and comfortable. I would give our stay five stars, however, there were a few things that caught us off guard a bit. The house, while located in the beatiful Baker Neighborhood, is right on the edge of the neighborhood, which is adjoined by a commercial/industrial neighborhood. This really had no negatives associated with it (it was actually quite quiet), but it does affect the character of the neighborhood a bit and threw us off when trying to find the house as we had to drive the commercial district to get to the house the first time. In addition, the outside spaces, while quite nice and spacious, still need some attention as some furniture is not in the greatest condition and vegetation needs some taming. A little TLC to the outside living spaces would boost my rating to a 5/5. Lastly, Julia's communication was excellent and the check-in was smooth and accommodating.
If you are looking for a large, pet-friendly house, with lots of outside living spaces in a good neighborhood with quick and easy access to many parts of the city, I can fully recommend Julia's place.
