Wow...just wow. The place was fantastic. How about some specifics:
- The completely separate and self-contained garage apartment is new. I believe Cindy said it was built from scratch three years ago.
- Very large and well-equipped kitchen area. Guests can quickly shop nearby, keep things in the good size fridge and easily prepare meals in the large kitchen. While we didn't cook - we ate at several of the area places nearby - this is one of the best AirBnB kitchens I've ever seen.
- Living area is medium sized, but comfortable. In addition to the living area, there's a small breakfast nook area with a table and chairs.
- Bedroom is compact, but has a comfortable bed and a good sized closet.
- The bathroom is a tight fit for two people getting ready at once, but that's an easy thing to work around, especially with the patio table on the landing outside by the front door or the gorgeously landscaped backyard with several sitting areas.
- Everything was clean - floors, kitchen, sinks, toilet - we were very comfortable with the "housekeeping."
- The neighborhood is great. Lots of character and parking on the street was never a problem. We came and went frequently in the day and in the evening and never had an issue parking when we returned.
- Neighborhood again: we loved the quick walk over to Broadway and all the shops, restaurants and bars. If you want to experience some local charm and not just generic, big box America, this neighborhood and shops are perfect.
- Everything was quiet. Considering it's a full on, lots of folks living in a comfortable neighborhood - it was quiet. We slept like rocks and were never awakened by noise.
- I don't remember seeing it in the listing (I could have missed it though), Cindy & Daniel have two beehives, in another part of their backyard. Personally, I'm fascinated and appreciative of bees, so I spent time just watching the bees coming and going. Daniel sells the honey "their bees" make and we bought two jars after Cindy sweetly offered a sample.
- Great hosts. I have no doubt that if you want to keep to yourself, you can. Cindy and Daniel won't intrude in the least. However, make it a point to chat with them - they're educated, sweet and great to chat with.
In short - we're gonna stay there again. You should too.
