This listing says you're renting the entire house, but because I was booking at the last minute later in the evening, I didn't ask questions to screen it's accuracy. I assume it's just an error in the description, but in reality this is A DUPLEX. You aren't getting the entire house. There are tenants living via a separate entrance on the second floor who share access to the back yard. This explains why the garage is not available with the rental, because the upstairs tenants use it.
That said, and listing mistake aside, this is a truly wonderful place to stay, especially if you're a dog owner.
In fact, there is a distinct shortage of dog friendly rentals on Airbnb, and this one is great for dogs. The downstairs living areas and kitchen of this property are very welcoming, and feel like you're visiting family or friends. It's incredibly spacious and easy to relax in this quiet but friendly neighborhood. The fenced in back yard covers a large part of this city location! Loved it!
