DETAILS:

Apartment 3, on the second and third floor, is quirky, bright, and fun. Enter through the rear of the house to this two-story, lofty one bedroom/one bath with additional beds in the living room. The apartment can sleep up to 6. The master bedroom and living room are on the top floor, a reclaimed attic space with tons of charm. The master offers a plush California King memory foam bed and adorable built-in storage nooks. The adjacent living room offers plenty of room to lounge, with a leather sofa, Eames chair, and poof, as well as two, separate built-in queen-sized sleeping nooks -- perfect places to host additional guests or to just laze around for the evening. Be sure to enjoy your favorite movie or TV show on the smart TV, with Hulu, Netflix, and Disney+ included, or if you are in the mood to game, help yourself to the Xbox.

The light-filled kitchenette of apartment 3 is downstairs from the living room and bedroom. Framed by massive windows, overlooking the backyard, you'll love soaking in the sun in this adorable dine-in kitchenette. Stocked for a quick meal -- with refrigerator/freezer, convection toaster, microwave, and kettle -- this kitchenette has your basics covered. Off the kitchen, you'll find the coolest bathroom in town. With stunning geometric tiles and a massive walk-in shower with a seating bench, this bathroom is fun and inviting, and a double vanity offers plenty of room for you and your guests.

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, bamboo sheets, which 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!
