"The listing provided showed a listing of a differently painted house, although the inside was clean the outside needs cleaning. The inside smelled like strong cleaning supplies so airing it out was necessary. The door for one of the bedrooms was locked and were told to find a way to open it on our own, so if you need immediate support for anything related to the house, expect you will need to do it yourself.

"We stayed for almost two weeks and this stay exceeded all expectations! The space was immaculately clean—truly spotless—and felt like a luxury boutique hotel thanks to the host's thoughtful touches like provided slippers and robes. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and the picture window offers a fabulous view that we loved waking up to. Plus, the location is unbeatable with Whole Foods and Trader Joe's just nearby. A perfect stay, highly recommend. Thanks Lili!"
