This updated craftsman-style house is cozy and comfortable; the descriptions on the site - if anything - undersell the property.
One delightful surprise was how well-stocked the kitchen was; this was particularly wonderful given that we cooked a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for ten and had everything we needed to pull it off. This includes a well-stocked spice cabinet and basic cooking supplies like flour, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla!
We enjoyed our dinner around the fire in the well-equipped and comfortable backyard - quiet, peaceful, protected from the wind ... just a lovely time to catch up with adult children and some of their friends.
I wish the fireplace worked (Mario said the previous owners had sealed it off), but working or not, it provided "warmth" to the common area.
Mario is a great host; check-in and check-out were easy and seamless. I would definitely rent from Mario again.
