"We stayed for almost two weeks and this stay exceeded all expectations! The space was immaculately clean—truly spotless—and felt like a luxury boutique hotel thanks to the host's thoughtful touches like provided slippers and robes. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and the picture window offers a fabulous view that we loved waking up to. Plus, the location is unbeatable with Whole Foods and Trader Joe's just nearby. A perfect stay, highly recommend. Thanks Lili!"
