Perfect getaway home

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The home was exceptional—beautifully maintained, clean, and incredibly comfortable. Everything about it made our trip so easy, from the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy beds and thoughtful touches throughout. It truly felt like a home away from home. Communication with the host was seamless, and check-in was a breeze. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stress-free getaway!

Delightful time capsule

This home is immaculate and filled with thoughtful details from days gone by. We kept feeling like we were visiting a beloved family member! Part of what was so endearing about the home are the design elements that have been lost in most other homes are preserved and beautiful in this space. We loved it!

Just as listed

This home had many thoughtful little things that made it easy to stay there- tissues besides the bed, nice kitchen, printer in office, close to bart but quiet, place to park, and so on. It is as described- full of antiques and decorations. The bed was very comfortable, hot shower plus bathtub. Our stay was nice.

Property is a warm and cozy family home. I love the people who own the home from their book collection. Only thing that felt way off is cleaning fee of $160. We hardly used a thing.

Home Away From Home

My husband and I had a great time at this house. It felt like the home of people we could easily be friends with. The kitchen had everything we would need for meal preparation, the sound system and CD collection was fun to explore and enjoy, the deck felt like a private, garden retreat for reading, journaling, and yoga. I enjoyed a walk up and down the neighborhood hills. The hosts communicated clearly and in a timely manner. I would recommend the house to friends.

Perfect

Everything we needed for meal prep is available. Beds are comfortable. The back patio is a nice view while eating in the dining area. I just did not like taking the trash out to the street on trash day. In one of the rooms (not sure about the other room), plugs is hard to access for charging. There's an extension cord available but I did not see it until we're almost leaving. Instruction binder for the property just needs to add availability of extension cord. We enjoyed our stay here. We would come back.

Fantastic home and view

I brought my dad to California to meet his biological brothers for the first time. He absolutely loved everything about the house. He claimed the living room as his, as it has everything that he loves all in one room, piano, books, interesting art and of course music upon music. Everything was so comfortable and pretty easy to use. I was able to communicate with Daiva very easily with prompt response time. I would definitely recommend this house as a place to stay if you are ever in the area.

Delightful Retreat!

Rejuvenating & comfortable retreat. We were in town helping a sick relative and this place was so wonderful to return to at the end of the day. The house manual better than most. Detailed with clear steps and expectations. Centrally located and very quiet. Daiva was very helpful when asked questions here and there.

Falsely advertised

There are many good things about this house. Spacious, clean, well stocked and yet. I was renting a 3 bedroom place. We are 3 friends who meet every year at a location of our choice. I rented this place believing there were 3 bedrooms. When we arrived we discovered that there are not 3 bedrooms. It is a 2 bedroom home and with the possibility of setting up an inflatable bed on one of the 2 living rooms. Another issue emerged: both inflatables were unusable. We phone the property manager, Daiva, and she responded promptly bringing a small mattress. What really bothers me is the description of the house. It is a 2 bedroom home with the possibility of an inflatable bed if needed. I had communicated with them stating that we were 3 adults. Again: Daiva was responsive. Thank you Daiva I have 2 request for them. One: reimburse me a 1/3 of the amount paid and secondly: change the description. Respectfully Andre
