Amy was a great host. My boyfriend, our pup, and I stayed here for a week. We worked from the airbnb during the day and went into the downtown area some work nights and on the weekend.
- The WiFi was great for work although the only work space is the dining table and the couch (or bed depending on how you’re feeling lol). I didn’t have any issues although my boyfriend likes more space for work so it depends on you and your work style if you’ll be working from the airbnb.
- The location is great and you can easily walk to the downtown area. It felt really safe at night (and we were coming back when the bars closed) and we just had a flashlight with us to see where we were walking.
- The view is beautiful and the wall of windows are south facing so you get amazing light all day— it can get warm on the couch with all the sun but my plants and pup loved it and the dining table is generally shaded. There’s blackout curtains in the bedroom.
- Ames was really good at communicating and made sure we were comfortable.
- You have your own parking spot next to the driveway and then walk down the driveway to the door to the backyard in order to head down to the entrance of the airbnb.
- We seemed to have the backyard to ourselves during the stay and it felt pretty private once you’re in the space. The backyard was perfect for my pup— I kept her from exploring too much but it didn’t look like she could fit between the fence posts (she’s a 15lb Boston Terrier). I did keep an eye on her though since we were warned to not leave food outside due to bear activity and my pup is snack sized.
- You’ll be amazed by how well the microwave works and there was a water filter in the refrigerator for fresh water. We didn’t make anything (other than coffee) during our stay but the refrigerator and microwave worked well for our leftovers. My boyfriend is the coffee drinker and he didn’t seem to have any issues or run out of coffee.
- Behind the curtain (which is behind the kitchen area), there’s a staircase leading up to a door that I assume leads to the main house. There’s soundproofing on the walls and door in the staircase. We didn’t hear much from upstairs (Ames asked if we could hear her music at one point but it was quiet!) although you could hear if something fell and sometimes footsteps. It was pretty quiet overall though and wasn’t intrusive (in general or while working).
Overall, we had a great stay. I’d recommend the airbnb to family and friends.
