I remember the days before Airbnb, looking at 1000+ square foot hotel suites with a living room and kitchenette priced at $1500 a night. It was a window into what vacations might be like after hitting the lottery, but the value for cost would never make sense. Fast forward 10 years, I can offer this brand new 1200 sq/ft appt with 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen with new appliances, a beautiful dining room, comfortable living room, close to downtown; priced accordingly. We've got three separate bedrooms with unique appointments. We call then the chalet room, the yellow room, and the big bedroom. The chalet room sports a cathedral ceiling covered in natural t&g pine, cabin style transom glass, and lots of natural light. The yellow room looks like a pretty standard room but we balled out on the mattress because, well, it kinda is a standard bedroom; in a good way - it’s dependable, tried and true. The big bedroom has a natural aesthetic with green paint, natural wood features, plant accoutrements, and a walk in closet. All three rooms have smart tvs, queen beds, solid wood furniture, woven wool rugs, and luxury bedding/ mattresses. The living room and dining room areas are appointed with sequential lighting. You can use wall washed art lighting to illuminate the pieces we've acquired, wicker central lighting to light the whole space with warm lighting, or sconces for accent lighting in the walkways. the dining room has a functional wall mounted cabinet filled with crystal glassware and a solid-wood six-person dining table with comfortable padded chairs. The living room has beautiful furniture; a solid and heavy reclaimed wood piece under the tv, a handmade-in-india unique wooden ottoman, and a Hollywood style diamond stitched sectional sofa. The dining room has a 58 inch smart tv with an external Bose soundbar for better tv audio or connecting your phone via bluetooth. The kitchen has custom built wood cabinets, brand new appliances, a dish washer, an oven with convection and air frying capabilities, a range vent, low voltage under cabinet lighting, and a breakfast nook. We opted fro high end cutlery, refined porcelain dish-ware, and ergonomic silverware. It has anything you need, from strainers to a stand mixer and a toaster. Our fridge makes "crave ice" - my favorite feature- its clear, perfectly circular, ice the size between a golfball and baseball. There are two bathrooms. we call them the big bathroom and the small bathroom. The big bathroom is a comfortable and stylistically neutral bathroom with lots of amenities. It has a huge mirror, pleasing artwork, a large sink with vast storage space, a laundry unit, and steam shower. The small bathroom is very designer with Artdeco lighting, contrasting shapes, an explosion of green wall tile, natural wood floor tile, and interesting intersections lines of millwork on the walls. The space also has a private balcony off the living room. There are transom windows throughout the space for light sharing to contribute to the flow of energy throughout the space. It's a beautiful combination of historic millwork, modern amenities, and custom features. I use airbnb, I've had hosts that are not cool, that are constantly in contact asking for information, want to know when your arriving/leaving, have far too many rules and instructions for check out. This place is designed to not be that. I like to meet and interact with guests, but also prioritize guests having the authority to show up at their own discretion, have everything they need to make themselves at home, and in return I hope the house is used in a respectful capacity. That's my philosophy; one of mutual respect for each other. I'm happy to offer a service that I'm proud of and will put my name on. If there is anything in the house that should be there and isn't, or a problem, please let me know so I can take care of its while you're at the house.
