I was in town for work for four nights and had a wonderful stay at Jeff's place! You can expect to enter through a gate to the backyard, then walk down some stairs to the door, enter a secure code for entry into a basement/laundry room, then enter another door (that also has a deadbolt) into the private space. As a person traveling alone, I appreciated the security of the dead bolt and coded lock! The space was very clean, with a spacious bathroom (and great water pressure!), a large bedroom with an incredibly comfortable bed and lots of pillows, it is nicely decorated (loved the Pulp Fiction poster!), and with a well stocked kitchenette. Parking was ample at all times of the day.
While I wasn't traveling with my dogs, I can definitely see why this is an excellent place to stay if I was! The back yard is large and well fenced. The guidelines and rules regarding dog guests seemed to be clear and very reasonable. And for those traveling without dogs, I was also impressed that there was no "evidence" of this being a space where dogs are allowed...there was no odors, stains, or leftover dog hair. Like I said, very clean!
While those who are not fond of dogs may not be as appreciative, I loved meeting Micky and Kona! They frequently greeted me in the backyard with a few barks and wagging tails but eventually returned inside...perhaps after realizing that I didn't have any treats for them. They are definitely a presence but not at all a bother or annoyance to me.
While I was aware of their general presence upstairs, the space felt very private and secure. I saw a few reviews with concern that the space is not truly closed off from the rest of the home...I can see why there might be confusion as there is a stairway that leads to upstairs but there is a closed/locked door at the top. This is a completely private and separate space from the upstairs home.
Jeff was an excellent communicator, providing clear check-in information, responding quickly and thoughtfully to questions. I also enjoyed meeting him briefly in the backyard while petting the dogs!
I would absolutely recommend staying at Jeff's for anyone visiting or passing through, 10/10. If it's not already booked, I hope to return soon!
