Ms. Dana, we appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that our guest suite did not meet your expectations. Our listing clearly states that this is a basement-level suite, and we make every effort to provide accurate descriptions and photos to ensure guests know what to expect before booking.
The suite is finished and fully furnished, clean, and designed to be a comfortable and private space for our guests. While we understand personal preferences regarding basement accommodations, it is disappointing to receive a review that does not accurately reflect the quality of our space, especially given that you mentioned in person that you found it very nice.
We take guest safety seriously, and all entry points are secure. We always encourage guests to reach out with any concerns during their stay so we can address them promptly.
Mattresses were made available as an option to be used. The suite has three bedrooms and 4 actual beds and its own private bath. The sleeping accommodation is enough without using the mattress standing by the wall.
Yes parking is on the street in the private upscale neighborhood. It can be referred in the picture gallery made available. The door is securely locked. I’m not sure what you are referring to.
We hope future guests will refer to our listing details and photos to ensure our space is the right fit for their needs.
Best regards,
Hilina

Please read the full details of listing and communicate with host on the number of people in your party as additional costs may be added for guests over 5. Communicate with host as this is important to avoid additional costs. Note recycling is mandatory but not clearly stated, so have a separate bag for recyclables. If you are having a larger party there is not enough dishes for more than 8. There were random items in drawers. The home needed some updates to bathroom faucets and hopefully the loose toilet gets tightened down. The marble floors throughout made cleanup easy and they are beautiful. The home was cozy and having 3 bathrooms was great with teenage girls all needing showers after playing ice hockey. We ordered pizza and it was not delivered to the entrance but was left on front porch, luckily a guest saw it and brought it down.My suggestions to host:Have printed signs posted of expectations so guests can abide by the rules. Like where to find linens. What to do with linens upon check out. Post a sign for the recyclables. Post signs in bathrooms about not flushing anything other than toilet paper. What garbages to clear upon checkout. Provide small trash bags for waste receptacles in bathrooms so they can easily be changed. Provide sponges and/or dishcloths for easy cleaning. If you provide the necessary tools for cleaning people will do a better job of keeping the home looking spectacular. I would visit again as the host was willing to discussion.

Dear Jennifer,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. I’m glad to hear that you found the home cozy and appreciated the beautiful marble floors, as well as the convenience of having three bathrooms—especially with your group of teenage hockey players!
I truly value your suggestions and will absolutely take them into consideration to help make the stay even more seamless for future guests. Clearer signage for house rules and instructions is a great idea, and I’ll work on posting simple, visible guides throughout the home. Regarding recycling, it was mentioned in the check out instruction but it is also important to include it in the check in. So I will do that.
Just to clarify for future guests: dishcloths are available and are hung on the drawer knobs throughout the kitchen, and small trash bags, along with cleaning supplies and bathroom detergents, are all stored under the sinks in each bathroom for your convenience. As far as utensils and plates I think it would be ideal to utilize the use-and-through for parties of bigger group. However, there were additional plates in the kitchen drawer. The ones on the counter are only for display.
I also appreciate your feedback about the home’s condition and will make sure the bathroom issues are addressed promptly. Thank you again for being a thoughtful guest, and I’m happy to hear you’d consider staying with us again. I would love to host you in the future!
Warm regards,
Hilina
About the host
Hosted by Hilina
Welcome to my guest house! My name is Hilina, and I'm delighted to share a bit of my story with you. I come from the beautiful country of Ethiopia, a land rich in history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes.
Growing up in Ethiopia, I was surrounded by the vibrant traditions and warm hospitality that are the hallmarks of our culture. I have always enjoyed the rich flavors of our cuisine, the rhythmic beats of our traditional music, and the colorful festivals that bring our communities together. One of my greatest passions is sharing these experiences with others, which is why I decided to open this guest house.
When you stay here, you're not just a guest; you're a part of my extended family. I take great pleasure in ensuring that every detail of your stay is perfect, from the comfortable accommodations to the personalized recommendations for exploring the area. Whether it's guiding you to a nearby attraction, suggesting a local restaurant, or simply sharing stories over a cup of Ethiopian coffee, I am here to make your visit memorable.
What I love most about being a host is the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. Each guest brings their own unique story and perspective, and I am always eager to learn from them as much as I am to share my own experiences. Hosting allows me to create a welcoming space where cultural exchange and genuine connections can thrive.
Thank you for choosing my guest house. I look forward to making your stay an unforgettable one and sharing a piece of my Ethiopian heritage with you.

The park is a serene oasis, with its lush greenery, beautiful walking trails, and the calming sound of birds singing. It's the perfect place to gather your thoughts, enjoy a picnic, or simply soak in the natural beauty.
One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood is the bustling farmers' market, a minute drive away from the house, held every day. Here, local farmers and artisans gather to sell fresh produce. The vibrant colors, the lively chatter, and the tantalizing aromas of freshly baked bread and brewed coffee at PaneraBread make it an experience that delights all the senses.
Just around the corner, you'll find a row of charming cafes and restaurants, each offering a taste of our diverse culinary scene. From delicious Ethiopian dishes to international cuisines, there's something to satisfy every palate.
As a host, I love introducing my guests to the hidden treasures of our neighborhood. Whether it's guiding you to the best local eateries, recommending scenic routes for a walk, or sharing stories about the area, I am always excited to help you discover what makes this place so special.
