All the other reviews on here were totally spot-on accurate in their ravings about the Bolthole -- it was such a lovely, peaceful place to stay in a fantastic part of town! The pictures absolutely did the place justice, and I could've just lived on that serene balcony forever. It was so nice in the mornings to have a cup of coffee and just hear the birds chirping and squirrels doing...whatever it is they do, haha.
As for the accommodations, it was exactly what I was hoping it would be from the reviews: fully-stocked kitchen and bathroom with all the supplies you need or may not have brought with you. Easy to find and park in front of his house on the street; since it's in a tucked-away 'hood in Travis Heights, the crazy SoCo parking does not spill up into this little area, but it's still only a 5 minute or less drive to the hot spots on Congress -- easy for meeting up with friends for dinner or coffee. And if you plan on being here for a longer stay like I was, to experience WFH from a different locale, it's sooo quiet during the day that working is a breeze (oh and the WiFi works great too!).
Chris himself was such a gracious host; he let me put my trash out on their trash day with his since I had a longer stay. And you can absolutely use the washer/dryer, which is located on the bottom floor of the Bolthole in its own private room -- just let him know! I also appreciated that he texted a check-out list of simple things to do before I left -- I am a huge fan of very clear communication with hosts so it was a happy surprise that I didn't have to guess!
I would absolutely stay here again, thanks Chris (and your adorable pup who kept staring at me through the front yard fence as I was loading up my car to leave)! I already miss the greenery and nature!
