Abby was a wonderful host! Communicative and friendly. The Airbnb felt like home instantly with a very warm welcome :) Abby and her family live above the unit - they give you space but also make sure you know you can bug them if needed.
I had my two dogs with me and felt perfectly fine leaving them there when we had places to be. We set up a FaceTime call when we went to Whole Foods (8 minutes away) and could tell they were safe and comfortable :) We had the courtyard to ourselves, which was great for them to spend some time outside. The neighborhood is relatively quiet.. Your obvious high traffic times had lots of dog walkers, but overall not bad even for my two reactive pups (there are a few yards with big barky dogs but they were marked with “Beware of Dog” signs). I felt safe walking them at any time during the day.
The location was pretty perfect for getting to all of our events - everything seemed to be a 15 minute drive. We also walked to CC’s Coffee just about every morning (maybe 5 minutes). There was a man who sits outside and passes out dog treats there hehe.
Side note, if you’re vegan, I-Tal was one of our favorite spots :)
