Our stay in the Casa East home was a delightful experience for many different reasons, some of which are listed below.
First, the owners are exceptionally nice, friendly and capable people. They have had many years of hotel experience and know exactly what travelers need to be comfortable. They go out of their way to be responsive to travelers needs and to make the traveler feel welcome. Everything possible is furnished. The bathrooms are complete with towels, wash clothes, bath robes, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers and soap. The closets all have fold-able luggage stands and the mattresses on the beds are the most “comfy” ever. The kitchen contains every imaginable cooking utensil, silverware, glasses, cooking oil, condiments, and the refrigerator is stocked with water and soft drinks—all at no additional charge. Plus there is a Keurig coffee maker with a selection of difference K-cups. They even purchased a “pack & play” crib, especially for our 15 month-old granddaughter for our stay.
The layout of the home is well thought-out and functional. The entire second floor is a kitchen, breakfast, and TV room all together, which is a great gathering place. There is a bedroom on the first floor and two on the third floor where the washer and dryer (with detergents) are located. The roof deck on the fourth floor is to “die for”. It is spacious with a table, chairs, two chaise loungers and a nice breeze (most of the time).
The home itself is located in a quiet residential area, but near an area of many restaurants and bars (several of which we dined in). The home is also near downtown.
The furnishings in the home are very tasteful, functional, and comfortable. The pictures and posters on the wall are quite remarkable and add a lot to the ambience. It is clear that the decorator has professional decorating experience. There is even a 33rpm record player and a few albums, including the iconic Abbey Road album by the Beatles. Taken as a whole, the quality of the decorations and furnishings increases the overall experience. It all just makes you feel good about life.
We had a great time here.
