The room is located via your own private entrance, at the back of our large home in the center of town. The space is entirely blocked off by a double insulated wall to create as much privacy as possible. You now have your own private, pet-friendly yard, with a small seating area. There is a the most comfy Cal-king bed in the unit as well as a fold down futon that can be dressed for a third guest for an extra fee.

We provide a full itinerary on the best advice on things to do in the area while you're here. The guests will have their own private entrance, yard (which is surrounded by hedges-only one part of it is fenced, so please be aware that your dog might need to be leashed, because there are places where they can escape from under the hedges). Your unit consists of a primary bedroom with Cal-King bed, futon couch, and designated workspace. On the other side of the door is a kitchenette and full bathroom with standing shower. On-street parking on 8th and J streets. Very safe neighborhood, so no need to worry about leaving your car parked on the street. The local grocery store is directly across the street from our house.

We do not plan to interact with our guests unless necessary. Our main house and large backyard, although technically attached to the unit, is a private space for us. We want you to feel the same way about your unit during your stay. We are situated about 100 feet behind the local co-op for all of your grocery shopping needs. Nearly every restaurant in town is located within a few blocks walking distance from our house , including: a dog-friednly bar next door, a burger joint two building down, high-end restaurants such as the famous Campground, and local favorites such as the Local Cider bar (best empanadas, pies and ciders!), Renata's Creperie, as well as a host of other wonderful cafes and bars.

Local bus routes are located within a few blocks of our house, and the area recently added Uber and Lyft to aid in getting people around the area, safely. A rec trail is located a couple blocks from the house for those wanting to take a morning jog or stroll. The unit *used* to have a barn door separating it from the rest of the house, and a shared backyard...hence the many reviews mentioning the rabbits, and some mentioning that the barn doors were not as much of a noise barrier as some might have liked. Both of those things have changed: you can only visit the buns by appointment only...you must inquire with me first. Lastly, we have drywalled the area where the barn door used to be for ultimate privacy. **Only one dog per reservation unless agreed upon otherwise** *There is an additional $30 pet fee if you are bringing a pet*
