Downstairs bedroom suite

We chose this property in part because of the downstairs bedroom suite. My elderly parents stayed with us and this was a comfortable room for them. The house was clean and bathrooms were updated though there were not enough towels for all 6 of us. There was ample on street parking for our 2 cars.

Clean, cute, & comfy

The house was lovely, very clean and nicely updated. We did have some issues with the keypad, possibly because of the touchscreen. If you have small children with you or elderly just be aware that the stairs are very steep. Only thing we wish the host provided was some tissues. The toilet paper was rough and not ideal for blowing your nose. Overall though our stay was great!

Check in process was a pain as I was told the code was the last four digits of my phone number which it wasn't. I couldn't get in touch with contact after multiple attempts. Finally we pushed the RING doorbell and that gentleman helped us. The manager eventually answered but it would have left us sitting outside for a somewhat lengthy period had the doorbell not contacted anyone.

My stay

Overall a nice place to stay. The property manager/Owner Chirrikka was very responsive and helped me immediately when my entry code didn’t work. Cute house decorated nice. I wasn’t crazy about the surrounding houses on the street. Not as well taken care of and some look ready for demolition. I like that it is dog friendly but wish there was a yard for the dogs to use. Lots of extras provided like games, ironing board, blow dryer, etc etcThe only real negative I have is the upstairs. It was really hot outside when I stayed and the upstairs never cooled off. I think in the summer a window unit may be needed for the upstairs guests. Also VERY steep stairs going up.
