**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. -

I appreciated how communicative they were with me. Every question I had, they answered immediately. It felt nice to be taken care of and attended to. The neighborhood is very quiet, I could hear the owls at night. The backyard was serine. It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
