Travel tips
Access is via a private entrance with keypad entry; you’ll walk around the front of the house through a honeysuckle archway into the secluded garden patio. Plan meals with the kitchenette limitations in mind (microwave/toaster/fridge, but no stove/oven and no sink). The hosts live above the suite with their two children, so if you prefer maximum quiet, consider bringing earplugs just in case.
