Brian (who holds a master's degree in architecture) has fashioned a stand-alone garage loft as efficiently equipped as a sailing yacht. The climatized room (a/c and ceiling fan) is flooded with daylight and snugly private with accordion shades all-around in the evening. The high-pitched ceiling gives it the feel of a much grander space, and combined with its second-floor location, it has a penthouse perspective over the adjoining neighborhood. The flow of furnished zones--sleep, sitting, work/eat counter, bath, closet--creates distinctly separate areas when two people are present. The garage below has a full-sized washer and dryer, which are available (and we used to good effect), as well as hooks to hang bikes on (which we also took advantage of). With a private parking space in front of the gate to the high-fenced backyard and separate garage entry with keypad, coming and going in and out is effortless.
Brian himself is a gentle and courteous host with a rogue adventurer's relish in outdoor activity (we shared Grand Canyon stories, including a college experience of his to the canyon floor, unwittingly without a permit that ended with jettisoned gear and a long march out). He is available for any consultation and caught us several times in the yard to see how things were going, and he plotted a route to a local bike shop for us around a festival parade.
Airbnb properties and hosts don't get any better in providing well thought-out arrangements and guest-friendly access.
