I would call this a unique private urban aerie!
I don't usually complete the abnb reviews for a number of reasons, but this host does a lot to make this space great and your stay go well--something I appreciated during a stressful time. This space is also a rare treat these days on abnb--an affordable space that truly feels homey and has the touch of personal hospitality, yet with quality furnishings and amenities--not the cast-offs or old family room basement, nor the more recent slick-marketed and managed spaces on abnb. This a private space, all to yourself, up high on the second floor of a refurbished solid historic house, with wood floors and nice tile-work in the bathroom, light and airy with a peek-a-boo VIEW of the lake and mountains.
What I loved: big comfy bed with headboard for leaning against, really nice sheets and pillows, spacious bathroom for a small space with very nice large shower, lots of nice towel sets, even a small closet with hangers! and other space to stash your stuff, hot water pot! (yay for tea-drinkers), hooks, and desk. Private and mostly quiet. All in all, a lot of amenities and style in a small space. Definitely 'spotlessly clean.' Since I was out before 9am every morning, the zone parking in the neighborhood was not an issue for me, and I had no problem finding street parking every evening despite this being a dense city neighborhood.
I was much more comfortable here than I would have been in a hotel, and felt cared about by the host as well as totally safe. I can tell the space will be cozy in winter and I would stay here again if I needed to be in the area. I shopped at the Central Coop grocery for deli food and snacks. For better dining, I liked Nishino and Cafe Flora. For traditional neighborhood bakery, try Madison Park.
