Javier's place is great! Very spacious, with lovely deck that I'm sure I would use if the weather was cooler! To get to the upper level apartment (located above a detached garage behind their home), you do have to move across stones and climb stairs - so just be aware of this prior to booking if you need wheelchair access, etc. or have a lot of heavy luggage!
Full kitchen and large fridge with everything you need to cook at home. Comfortable futon, and a fan you can move closer if you are too warm at night. Really nice dog at the house too, but Javier can keep her inside if you're not comfortable. I kind of liked knowing she was guarding the yard! He and his wife were very hospitable, I did not really have time to visit because of work obligations (plus I'm not a huge talker), and they gave me my space.
Located in neighborhood area - but still easy to access everywhere you might need to go around the area. I had no trouble finding street parking. A couple of places I'd recommend if you're staying: Really great coffee shop, Barrett's coffee, within walking distance or like 2 min drive and Oskar Blues Brewery and The Brewtorium within 10 mins drive.
Thanks for a great stay, I'll be sure to check it out when I'm back for work!
