Blaine and Taylor are new airbnb hosts, but they definitely did their homework on setting up their space.
Great hosts with rapid communication ahead of the visit and during the visit.
Their basement apartment is private and quiet. Plenty of room for a couple. I was solo on this visit, but would bring my wife to this place in a heartbeat. There's even enough room to bring along one of our adult kids.
There's a foosball table! I don't recall seeing that in the pictures or description and while I don't play, it was a nice feature (my children would definitely have used it).
Very comfortable bed in bedroom that is separate from bathroom and the sitting area and kitchen. The sitting area and kitchen are one large room separated from the bath and bed by really cool, sliding wood doors.
The neighborhood is quiet, yet just a block off Hawthorne where there are shops, bars, and restaurants. I felt safe in all parts of this neighborhood, at all hours.
Parking on the street was not a problem, I always found a space close to the house at any hour, but the street is narrow when cars are parked on both sides, so turn your driver's side mirror in before leaving your car.
