Abi and Jonah are great hosts. They are very kind and welcoming, and the check-in/out process is a breeze. The apartment itself is just as pictured. It's well appointed, modern, and comfortable. And the location is quite serene; it sits at the top of a very large and private lot in the hills.

That said, here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. The internet can be quite slow at times. The apartment does not have it's own internet connection. There is a range extender that makes the wifi from the main house available, but the main router is probably 100-200 feet away. If you have important business to do online, or even if you just want to watch Netflix, I recommend bringing a backup hot spot just in case (e.g. 4G phone or MiFi).

2. The apartment is located above the garage, so you will hear and feel the garage doors opening and closing occasionally. It wasn't a big deal for me because I wake up early. But if you want to sleep-in past 7:30am on a weekday, bring your earplugs.

3. There is a steep and bumpy driveway leading up the house. It's probably not an issue for most cars, but something to consider if you're renting a car.

4. The bed is very soft. If you have back issues (like me), I do not recommend staying here more than 1-2 nights.

5. The washer and dryer are very loud and they shake rather violently. So, don't put anything on top of them or they will shake off. When I opened the laundry closet door, a heavy box of garbage bags fell, just missing my head and feet.

6. There was dog hair on the sofa. The ad does say 'dog owner', so I guess this is to be expected. But, if you're allergic to dogs, or just don't want dog hair on your clothes, you might look elsewhere.
