Looking to cook while you are with us? You'll love the new, eat-in kitchen with top-of-the-line black stainless appliances. Well stocked with all of the pots and pans you might need. The custom-made dining table has seating for 8, and it's on casters for easy moving. Step through the original pocket doors into the adjacent living room, which invites you and your guests to relax around the original fireplace (no fires, please). Play a CD or record from our hand-picked selection, or enjoy your favorite movie or TV show on the smart TV, with Hulu, Netflix, and Disney+ included.
Step outside and the real fun begins. The beautifully restored front porch offers plenty of space to lounge and gather. Draw the curtains for additional privacy, or to shade yourself from the afternoon sun, and spread out on the spacious sectional. Follow the lighted path to the back of the house, and you will find the most amazing backyard in the neighborhood -- custom designed and accessible, the backyard offers hammocks, outdoor lounge areas, and a Weber propane grill. Perfect for entertaining or relaxing!
We try to make all of our spaces inviting homes away from home, so we strive to provide all of the comforts you might need to make your stay enjoyable. We take pride in the comfort of our beds and bedding, offering memory foam mattresses and breathable sheets that are soft, eco-friendly, and hypoallergenic. We also stock the apartments with organic, paraben- and cruelty-free shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and body wash. Finally, to make your travel a little easier, all of our kitchens are stocked with locally-roasted whole bean coffee, grinders, kettles, and french presses, as well as an assortment of caffeinated and decaf teas.
We hope you have a wonderful stay with us!
