We had a wonderful stay at the Birdhouse. Like other guests have mentioned, the pictures don't do it justice - there are many beautiful and thoughtful details that my friend and I kept finding and were obsessing over (we are both designers, so notice these things!). Like the fact that the kitchen cabinet doors are shallow enough to stay clear of your head when open, the impeccable floorplan and layout, the dark penny tiles in the bathroom, way the shower curtain is cut to fit perfectly in the shower, and has little suction cups to keep it from billowing around. Oh, and the basket of treats - organic chocolate, tea and coffee. The meticulous attention to detail makes you feel like you're being taken care of, so that you can simply relax and enjoy being there.
Dolina and her family were super nice and helpful hosts. Love that they compost too - was fun to contribute our coffee grounds and veggie scraps to the pile.
Location is great - Summermoon coffee bar is a short walk away, and South Congress is a short drive down the street.
