Brightly lit property provides peace of mind. Driveway and front entrance lights scheduled to turn on at dusk are conducive to late evening solo check-ins.

Clean energy home. Property is powered by newly installed solar panels.

Registered guests only. I do not allow unregistered guests on this property. Unregistered guests will be charged a fine per person per day.

Easy check-out. Turn everything off, lock up and please message me.

No parking on the premises. Please do not park in the driveway. It is reserved for front house guests only.

Street parking only. There is street parking available in front of house. Unlimited after 6 pm and Sundays, 2 hr limit 8 am-6 pm mon-sat, no parking on one side of street Tue mornings and the other Wed mornings for street cleaning.

Long-term street parking nearby. There is also long-term street parking available during the day 3 minutes away from the house for $.25 per hour for up to 10 hours and free overnight.

Firm pricing. Pricing is firm and set after careful consideration.

Policies are carefully crafted. I carefully craft policies to optimize guest experience, taking into account myriad factors and balancing my capacity. I like to personally care for this property and do not have a staff. If you prefer hotel-like support such as complimentary early check-ins (before 4 pm), complimentary late checkouts (past 10 am) and complimentary luggage drop-offs and holds, please select a different property for a better fit.

Best enjoyment. I recommend booking a minimum of 2 nights to fully experience the property with ease.

Well-loved house. Please know this is not a new build so you will encounter some discolored floors, cracked tiles and older sink faucets. I balance function with aesthetics as I hold a high value of care for our environment. I am on the path of being fully-converted to electric appliances and systems to capitalize on clean solar energy, while being mindful to minimize unnecessary waste and harm to the environment.

I donate 1% of my host payout to non-profit Airbnb.org. Every 2 times you stay here, the donations could give a relief worker a place to sleep while they help rebuild a community impacted by disaster. Every 4 times you stay here, the donations could give a refugee a place to stay while they settle into their new city.

Driveway and backyard are shared spaces. Main house front yard and backyard patio belongs to main house guests. Guesthouse and its side patio belong to guesthouse guests.
