Leah is a treasure. Her place is a treasure. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found this lovely Airbnb. The location is incredibly convenient and in a wonderful neighborhood. It’s very private.
The kitchen is fantastic with so many little touches and a clean and welcoming aesthetic that still has a definitely welcoming touch. Lots of natural light and the perfect size.
The living room is so comfortable with the sectional and the velvet sofa. The coffee table with the lift up work surface is such a great feature for work. Great laundry room with high end front loading washer and dryer I especially appreciated as I have many vintage items I was able to wash there since it has no agitator. There’s also a vintage sink, cabinetsgalore, a rod to hang things, and room to keep the vacuum, ironing board, and some other things in there if needed.
The bedroom! The biggest room and it’s wonderful! The bed- SO comfortable. Seriously one of the best beds I’ve ever slept on. Great pillows. The light in the afternoon is especially delightful. There are 2 full length windows and a pair of sliding glass doors onto a private balcony/deck, all of which enhance the feel of being in a treehouse. It’s very private and many birds and squirrels can be seen.
That fireplace! It’s even better than you think. I can only imagine how great it must be in the cooler months to light it and enjoy its coziness. Great place for photos!
That bathroom wallpaper is amazing! I love that it was saved while renovating this place. The closet is generous. The tub is original and sunken! Great water pressure. There’s a skylight in there, which makes it even better. Lots of cabinets, drawers. Windows that provide light and view of the light through the trees, but total privacy.
I have to say something about the house as a whole. While the Airbnb is so separate from the house (only a long glass hallway connects it), the house is truly special. Leah (as well as Denica!) is so welcoming and LOVES her house. I didn’t know what a Ju-Nel house was, but it’s truly special and I feel privileged to have gotten to stay here. Leah rescued this place and she shares it graciously. Her pups are delightful, and I fell for each one of them.
Just before I arrived, I lost my elderly dog rather suddenly. The kindness and thoughtfulnous Leah showed me was above and beyond. She understood the impact of losing a beloved companion of after over a decades together. She has framed photos of my sweet girl Stella from when we came to stay a couple of nights before we came for our longer stay. It made me feel so welcome knowing she understood and recognized Stella’s importance.
I hope you’re fortunate enough to stay here sometime. It’s a great place, in a great location, with a welcoming hosts. I can’t wait to stay here for a long stay of several months because it’s a place that feels like home, but was great even for the two nights the first time I stayed to check it out.
