Starting from the booking process our time at the Bungalow was absolutely everything we could've asked for. Christine was incredibly responsive and helpful and helped me through the process to get everything set up. She went above in beyond getting things ready for us, even putting in an extra outlet on the outside of the home so that we could charge our electric vehicle. She worked with us to sort out a schedule for cleaning and paid close attention to our safety and health during the pandemic as well as that of her staff. She was available for any questions that came up and always addressed anything we asked about with urgency.
The home itself is incredible and you find quickly that every detail has been thought of. My husband and I, and our two kids, were moving in the mist of the pandemic shutdown and nervous about how we would navigate a new city. Arriving to a perfectly decorated and comfortable home, fully stocked with supplies, made what could've been a harrowing experience, shockingly easy and stress-free.
Because everything was shut down we spent ALOT of time in the home and we continuously found it to be an enjoyable space that was comfortable and beautiful. The master bedroom is plush and inviting and there is a children's room next door that kept our youngest close to us. The playroom downstairs made it possible for my children to enjoy the shutdown even without most of their own things. They loved the "new" toys and space that was set up just for them. The upstairs office allowed me to work from home and the bedroom on the main floor was a lovely tucked away nook that my son enjoyed having all to himself. The furnishings, linens, and amenities were extremely high end and unfortunately for my budget, I now have a long list of things to replace in my own home! Throughout our stay, we not only enjoyed the home, but also the care that Christine and her team took to keep everything perfect order for us.
The neighborhood is beyond quaint and accessible. There are grocery stores, restaurants, and pharmacies, all within very easy walking distance. We were only sad we didn't get to experience more of what the neighborhood had to offer during the shut down. There is a lovely neighborhood park down the street with a huge playground and a community garden. Green Lake is in walking distance and has a gorgeous walking path, boat rentals, shops, and restaurants.
I can't say enough about our stay at the Bungalow. We were able to ride out much of the shut down in comfort and with incredible support. We felt so lucky to have found such a great place to shelter and adjust to our new city.
