So much to say, so little time... The house is located in a quiet residential area conveniently located minutes from the expressway and downtown. We had the entire basement to ourselves with no indoor access to the friendly, accommodating family living upstairs. The only time we knew they were up there
was sometimes when they walked around (completely normal) and when the dog on the upper screened-in porch barked upon our departures and returns. (Note: for those who aren't fans of dogs, you'll never have to interact with this one up close.)
This adorable, cozy, quirky property was GORGEOUS (for a chormatophile like myself) and exactly as pictured. The place was spotless, fresh-smelling, cozy, and completely safe as female travelers. We were welcomed with fresh flowers in a vase and fancy chocolates on our pillows a la cruise ships. The memory foam mattress and luxurious bed sheets in the pink room were super-comfortable, which surprised me after having slept on so many crappy Airbnb mattresses. My bestie who slept in the other room reported a similar sleeping experience.
The shower, toilet, and sink were like new and spotless. Plus the bath linens were fluffy and soft, another pleasant surprise based on what I've experienced at other properties. (Admittedly, I sleep and bathe pretty high-on-the-hog at home, so my fancy standards are hard to meet. LOL)
There were two space heaters to help us regulate the temperature, and attraction brochures were abundant to facilitate finding things to do in the area. The amply-gardened backyard backs up to a densely wooded area in the mountains, so you should expect nature to come a-callin' (i.e. we swiftly dispatched of several spiders and two crickets who crept inside the place LOL).
The day before we left, we received a tote bag full of more fresh towels, bottled water, and snacks plus MORE fresh flowers. Yasmin and her hubby are AMAZING hosts, and we would definitely return to this spot!
