The property was awesome. We had a challenge with the only bathroom being upstairs because my mom is in her mid 80’s.

Worked for us!

The property was as advertised. The lodgings are "compact" and adequate for what we needed. The wifi was a bit spotty. Diana, our host, was very responsive when there was a minor glitch that kept getting compounded.

This is a good place to stay for two single people or for a couple and a third person. It's in a really nice neighborhood with coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants nearby. Kitchen was well supplied although we couldn't find dish towels. Communication with the host was fine. When we arrived though (1.5hrs after check in was allowed), the guy who was cleaning was still there which felt a little off for two female guests. He was very nice though and came back a short while later to bring fresh towels and gave us a bag of sheets to put in the bedroom closet. When we came back home at night at 1am, I realized that the sheets of the larger bed had not been changed. It was obvious they had been used by a previous guest as there was hair everywhere. The plastic bag given to us had clean sheets so I had to change the sheets at that point. So that was not great eventhough the rest of our stay was fine. And we loved the neighborhood.
