Attractive basement apt in nicely maintained/landscaped, relatively quiet neighborhood. I’ll be honest: we look for homes that have a nice size TV with seating close to and around the TV. After visiting sites/people/restaurants all day, we like to veg out with the tv at night.
Cynthias place is a compact basement apartment. Each bedroom has its own full bath, a feature we look for when traveling with our teen. 2 bedrooms -one with 2 twins, the other with a queen. The bedrooms are a little tight , especially the queen when the door & closet doors are open. We took a folding TV tray-style Table from the kitchen so that there was a second bedside table. There was a plug behind the queen bed but it was too much trouble to get to, so I couldn’t charge anything on my side. It wasn’t too much of a bother for our two day day, but if it had been a longer stay I think I would’ve been pretty annoyed with the constant moving the closet & main doors to get around in the queen bedroom. The queen had a comfortable mattress and pillows, and there was an extra very soft blanket in the closet, along with extra bath towels, hand towels and washcloths.
I very much liked the style of the apartment; not too feminine or masculine. It has a very nice gloss gray throughout, coordinating subway tile on one kitchen wall, and a lot of thick wooden trim in contrasting white.
Because it’s a basement apartment you can hear the owners walking around some, but it wasn’t a huge distraction. Cynthia gave us a three ring binder with the names of some restaurants that deliver or are nearby. We walked ~ a half mile to the Hitching Post Restaurant , and drove 2 miles to eat breakfast at Ted’s Bulletin. Another bonus of the apartment is the ability to pause, rewind and fast-forward on the TV. Just like home!
I have a minor quibble with the photograph of the deck, as if it’s a part of the basement apartment. It’s definitely attached to the upper level that is occupied by the owners. I wouldn’t have felt comfortable sitting up there, But I suppose if it’s in the photograph then it means it’s accessible to the basement renters. It’s adjacent to a lot of big windows and glass doors to that level though. I also have a little bit of an issue with the description “entire place to yourself” with pictures of the whole house when the “entire” Air bnb place is just the basement apartment, that’s not visible in the house photos. Overall we would stay there again when the need arises.
