We had a lovely stay at Lynne's property!
Host: Lynne was super attentive from the start of the booking process and throughout our stay. She was very flexible and allowed us to check in 3 hours earlier than the standard time as well as check out later to accommodate my family's travel schedule. She continued checking in with us throughout our stay and brought items that we needed.
Property: The location of the airbnb is super convenient, 1 block away from a Trader Joe's and a bus stop that takes you straight to downtown. There are also restaurants walking distance and driving to major tourist attractions usually took less than 10 minutes. The neighborhood was residential and quiet and we didn't have any issues with noise from the neighboring townhouse.
I'm giving this property 4 starts rather than 5 because:
- It's very difficult to park in the garage. We tried with both a mid-sized sedan (VW Passat) and a smaller sedan (Honda Civic) and we didn't manage to fit either. Maybe we needed a more experienced driver, but it seemed that it would have been a bit of a hassle to get in and out everytime. The parking around the airbnb has a 2-hr restriction for those without a permit, so we constantly had to remember to move the car, although it's worth mentioning that we usually did find street parking within 1 or 2 blocks of the airbnb.
- The 2 double beds are uncomfortable to sleep on. The one in the 1st floor squeaks a lot and the one in the upstairs bedroom is somewhat lumpy and feels shapeless. The other beds (queen and king) are pretty comfortable.
I highly recommend this property for its location and a great host experience, my only caveats are the ones above.
