While the floor plan is challenging, and the hide-a-bed uncomfortable....
This affordable unit is very well appointed, well stocked, very clean, with thoughtful decor, quality cabinets and appliances, a cute gas fireplace stove, hot and strong pressured water, and sufficient WIFI. The property is beautiful and peaceful among the pines with a lovely water feature ; next to a huge park connected to a suburban trail system. We found the location very quiet, and not very sonically affected by the notorious BNSF train. We were able to sleep with the windows open for that fresh, therapeutic mountain air. Because of the popularity of this property, parking can be a bit of a challenge - as we once had to park on the side of the driveway. No big deal though, as long as it’s acceptable.
Our hosts respectfully left us alone, and we never needed to contact them. One can tell that they really care about their property.
The only reasons my wife and I will not be returning to this unit is the layout and the uncomfortable convertible sofa. It might be more popular with younger folks.
This is a quaint 2-story studio, resulting in the lofted master bed areas (with a huge) not being conveniently located near the 1st floor bathroom. Because of the layout, in that regard, we thought we’d try sleeping on the hide-a-bed. That test-drive experience left us with the only option of sleeping upstairs on the comfortable bed and, some times, having to navigate the stairs in the middle of the night. We also found it to be more convenient and practical for us to leave our luggage/clothes on the first floor, in order to be closer to the bathroom.
The check-in/check out expectations of the host/owner were very reasonable, and we would definitely rent from them again at a different location.
The host seems to be a very professional and personable landlord.
