Lovely House near Downtown, Home away from Home!

We did expect nicer accommodations for what we paid, however we have quickly learned that everything is much more expensive in California. The door code did not work when we arrived, however I called the phone number provided and got help right away so wasn’t that big of a deal. The WiFi did not work our entire stay and there is not good cellular service so that was a big annoyance for us as we had teens that we felt uncomfortable leaving for a bit because we couldn’t trust them having service to get ahold of us. We called on the internet not working, we were told someone was going to come fix it and that never happened.The house is old and definitely has an old smell to it. The old smell wasn’t really that bothersome, but the air freshener used by the cleaning folks was VERY off putting to me. We had to open all the windows to air it out. There are not too many cooking items available, one pan and a pot so don’t expect to make any elaborate meals. All and all it was fine; I probably wouldn’t stay here again, but if it’s in your budget and that’s all there is it’s not a terrible place to stay. The area was nice and a great distance to downtown so that was a plus.

Pros- house was in a good location within walking distance to campus, host was responsive, kitchen was clean and well appointed. Cons- bathroom floor grout was covered in mold/mildew, house sleeps eight but only three bath towels provided. One bedroom had the fan remote missing and got very hot, one bed was very uncomfortable. Washing machine didn’t work.

Super convenient to walk to campus. Appreciated good communication with host.

Would stay again

The host, Adam, was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. I wouldnt say the kitchen was well stocked unless you only use salt and pepper and olive oil to cook. The house is beautiful and in a great neighborhood!
