The Spacious Surprise
The Spacious Surprise is full of the unexpected. Beautifully decorated and comfortable, it offers a great location two blocks from the hospital, across the street from St. Cecilia, and within walking distance from all that downtown offers. It is on a quiet street with large green spaces. We allow up to two dogs with a pet fee to allow for extra cleaning expenses. Although a basement apartment, it has a private driveway and entrance, and plenty of room with large windows in the bedrooms. This property is an amazing value for many reasons. If offers a private entrance, comfortable sleeping for six (a king, queen, fold out futon and fold out floor sleeper), a fully stocked kitchen with all appliances, a washer and dryer, office and a room-sized walk-in closet that also functions as a sleeping space and play area. It is tastefully decorated, centrally located, clean and comfortable. We have priced it reasonably to allow for it being a basement apartment. You must be able to walk down the stairs to enter the apartment. It has a private drive with some cracked concrete on part of the driveway (does not impair function at all). As mentioned elsewhere, this is a basement apartment. Though it has a private entrance and driveway, people may be staying above you. We ask the occupants of both units to be respectful of this. You may hear footsteps above occasionally, or other sounds that come with living adjacent to another living space. Honestly, we have another Airbnb that is on a busy road. The traffic noise at that location (which isn't terrible) is louder than the sounds you might hear above you. Fortunately, this is a REALLY quiet location. In the event it bothers you, white noise machines are provided in both bedrooms. This is not a party Airbnb. Also, there is not a bathtub. You have access to the private drive, yard outside the fence of the main unit, and the rest of the basement apartment. There is free parking on the premises and on the streets next to the house. We are available through the Airbnb app messaging. If necessary, we can provide assistance during your stay both in person and via the app. We welcome questions about the Hastings area, in addition to our Airbnb. We welcome longer-term rentals. All that we ask is if your stay is over two weeks, you allow and pay for a cleaning of the Airbnb at two weeks and at every additional two-week interval. We love dogs. We require a $15 per pet per day extra pet fee. We provide a large crate to crate your dog in, should you need to leave them unsupervised. We also provide a comfy dog bed. We have blankets to place on the couches and beds for your pets to lay on to protect the furniture and bedding. Dog food bowls and waste pick up bags are also provided.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an ironing board.

Well Kept, Clean, homey, Private.... With people living and walking around upstairs, the "white noise" machine worked wonders while trying to sleep.One negative, Being in the basement is already the coolest portion of the home, but when the residents upstairs like their rooms cool, it sure makes the basement that much colder. Nothing a good wrap around blanket can't fix.
