The Host: We communicated with Aaron during our reservation and he very graciously let us check in a little (actually, a lot!) early to accommodate our travel plans, which was very much appreciated. Our first impression of Aaron was shortly after we checked in, he arrived at our doorstep with fresh flowers. Apparently he always has fresh flowers for his guests, and didn't want us to miss out just because we checked in early. How sweet! Aaron is very thoughtful, unobtrusive, and communicative. He'd pop out of his house when we were going by to see if we needed anything, and the guide he provided for the area was spot on. He responded to messages during our stay within minutes, and it always felt like he was available for questions or recommendations.
The Neighborhood: Being from out of town, we really took a shot in the dark regarding location, but we could not have been more pleased with the OVERABUNDANCE of restaurants, bars, and activities that were within walking distance of Aaron's. Even after five days there were still plenty of places we wished we could have checked out. What a find!
The Amenities: Holy Moly! We were totally overwhelmed by the details in this new construction and it's modern industrial design. It was perfect for four guests. It had all the amenities we could want, and all new appliances! We were able to do laundry (located conveniently off the kitchen), make coffee each morning, and take glorious hot showers with fantastic water pressure. Even the plates, utensils, and cookware were brand new. My personal favorite thing was the comfy living room where we spent a lot of time hanging out as a group when we weren't out sight-seeing. It had a large TV, all the channels you could want, and you could even DVR! Plus, Aaron had a high-quality bluetooth speaker where we could easily connect our phones and play music.
The Guest House: The house itself felt totally private, even though it was right in Aaron's backyard. Situated behind a large security fence, you need a code to enter, so it felt very safe, even though we were in a denser residential area. The only problem we had was with the front door, and Aaron gave us plenty of instructions (written and in person) so we figured it out pretty quickly.
