We very much enjoyed our stay at Toni’s house. The location of the house was perfect for us. It is in walking distance (as in a few blocks away) from coffee shops, cafes, a phenomenal local grocery market and gorgeous views of the mountains and water. The bay window in the living room is picturesque to sit and read or do work. The backyard (and front yard) are fenced in which provided an element of safety as our 2 yo daughter could play supervised while we sipped coffee seated on the outdoor patio. It was convenient for touring the local area with most drives being approximately 10-15 mins away.
If anyone has read the review by Alex, there is some truth to it. The home has the must-haves, but not a lot of the nice-to-haves that we’ve experienced at other 5 star Airbnb’s, especially in the kitchen. The basement is very nice, and has plenty of space for a large bed, yet there is only a futon. Shoes are a no no in this house, and the floors are indeed slick if you wear socks. I did have some concern for my mother and aunt (both in their 70’s) coming down the stairs.
For me the best part of this home is the location and the neighborhood, which is absolutely gorgeous. Although the home is not “magnificent”, it’s a lovely and comfortable home and I would recommend it.
