What you can expect: A respectful host with many stories and an interesting personality. I did not feel like talking that day and he let me be my quiet self. My partner connected well with Sean and they enjoyed some conversation. I found that the place was artsy and interesting. However, it did not feel as grand and luxurious as I had hoped. Scorch, the dog, is amazing! So friendly. The place is very clean and smells good (thieve's oil I think it's called). Beautiful art and plants everywhere. The jacuzzi was okay. No doors on the Master bedroom from the hallway connecting it from the shared den. There is a nice, big mirror above the bed. There is also a cute bistro table and a pair of chairs in the turret area that is surrounded by windows. There is air conditioning and the temperature is great. The other guest was very nice and we kept out of each other's ways. I think she has a couple weeks left there. Overall, it was a good experience. The neighborhood is run down though. There were trash bags in the neighbor's trees and beer cans on the windshield wipers. The whole area looked pretty rough. It is near Como Park, which has a nice surrounding neighborhood. About a 10 minute drive away.
My only complaint is the price. If I would have known about the neighborhood and smallness of the property, I would have booked elsewhere. That is my fault for not looking at the pictures closely enough. The pictures are very accurate.
Thanks Sean! Sorry, don't mean to write a negative review.
Best,
Kaisa
