Very positive experience.

This place is as described. It’s a stand-alone little unit behind the main house, in a hip residential neighborhood.

The area is quiet, with narrow streets, not far from boutiques and restaurants. There is a gate with a keypad (the code has to be punched in both coming and going), before you come to a simple, spare, cozy studio. (My wife thought maybe it was a renovated garage.)

It is either brand new or has been maintained as if it is — in a good sense. It looked as if it had been either never occupied by people or cleaned to a standard higher than a hotel. The layout is efficient: TV area, galley kitchen w/ two-person dining table, queen bed. It’s comfortable in a sleek, minimalist manner, decorated by a fan of the Beatles, who leaves nothing in the refrigerator (but good coffee in the cabinets!).

The hosts are thoughtful: maps, brochures, coupons, and a binder of information. A good deal, probably one of the neatest, tidiest Air BnB places we’ve tried out of more than a dozen in various cities; no complaints whatsoever. Bonus touches: new washer and dryer right there, plus a heater in the bathroom.
