Stayed here for just a 3 day weekend and had everything we needed to make the stay really great ! Was comfortable and peaceful throughout the stay

**A Peaceful Retreat — Nearly Perfect** We stayed here while a home repair was underway. The neighborhood was quiet and calming — exactly what we needed. **The Unit:** Full kitchen, ample space, comfortable bed, and furniture. A lovely back area for quiet morning meditations. One bathroom, sufficient for two. **Minor Hiccups:** Shower door track needed a quick fix on day one. Thermostat batteries were swapped mid-stay with easy guidance from concierge support. Local wildlife (coyotes, rabbits (yes, large mating hares), raccoons) were surprisingly vocal at night (just pack earplugs). **One Major Issue:** When we requested a 4-day extension, a booking error resulted in two days being rented to another guest, forcing a last-minute scramble for alternate housing. Stressful and disruptive. If extending your stay, confirm carefully. **Bottom Line:** A comfortable, well-located unit with responsive support. The extension mishap was frustrating, but the stay itself was quietly lovely. -
