You have your own separate space with separate entrance in a quiet residential neighborhood, 10 minutes from airport and downtown Reno. Less than one hour from Tahoe and skiing. Full large basement apartment is over 700 sq. ft. and has a separate, private entrance (with stairs) and its own backyard. Owners live upstairs. Eclectic decor - antique bedroom set, Mexican themed common spaces. This is NOT a party house. If there is anything resembling a party you will be asked to leave immediately.
This is a spacious studio apartment. It occupies the entire basement of a 2 bedroom house (above), so it is quite large. The queen bedroom area is off by itself a bit and has a curtain for some privacy. The single bed has a partial room divider also. For those who need a desk space there is a very large desk, with lamp, and elecrical outlets.
You have access to the entire basement apartment through a private entrance on back of house, and private backyard area, entered by a separate gate to street parking.
We live upstairs, so if there’s anything you need we can attend quickly. Interaction is up to you- we will give you your space but always happy to have a friendly conversation or give recommendations. Don`t hesitate to call or text me or knock on front door if you need me. Occasionally we may need to do yard work or other repairs outside. If this is a problem please let us know. We do not want to disturb you. If any repairs are urgently needed inside, we will communicate and do our best to minimize disturbing your stay.
There is a lot to do in and around Reno. Check out the visitrenotahoe website for events. The Grand Sierra Casino close by has great shows, bowling, a winter skate ring and $3 movies. Our home is in the same neighborhood as the VA hospital and very close to Renown Hospital. We are close to many many restaurants, some within walking distance. We are 5 min from airport and 6 min from downtown.
My house is 3 blocks from a main road,Kietske Lane. The GPS often says to head north, make a right on Taylor, and then make a left on Kietske, to go to many places in town. I think that is a very dangerous intersection, so I recommend that you go south, make a left on Bresson, a right on Cordone and a left on Vassar St. Then make your left on Kietske at the light. Also remember that when Nevada says 15 mph in a school zone, they mean it and you will get ticketed. Not worth it, so go slow.
The couch is a sofabed with a full/queen mattress. A portacrib is also available. There are some board games and a collection of books and magazines as well as some toddler toys. Kitchen is ready for cooking and cabinets contain spices, oils, cookware, servingware and some basic foods just in case. A washer and dryer are in the apartment for you to use as well as an iron and ironing board. I now have a rental car available for you to rent so you can avoid the long wait at the car rental counter. Reasonable rates. 7 passenger Dodge Grand Caravan. Message me for details and availability.

No pets are allowed on any furniture Please bring your own pet bedding or you may use one of our sheets on the floor. Please clean up after your dog. There should be grocery bags under the sink to hold pet waste. You may leave those bags outside the door. Do not leave your pet unattended unless crated.

The communication with the host was great. My questions were answered quickly and she provided me with accurate information. The location of the place was perfect for us on this trip. Additionally, the shower was notably comfortable, and the kitchen was functional and loaded with the necessary tools.
Kitchen was clean and well stocked. A nice touch were the muffins and drinks provided for our stay. Check-in was easy and the unit is roomy enough for 4. This VRBO is a basement under the hosts house with a private entrance and parking.
This was a great place to stay. Very convenient and nice location. The place was clean and had all the amenities we needed. We would definitely stay here again!
We stopped in Reno for one night to do a ghost tour, and we were thrilled with our B&B AND the tour. So much history and so much fun. Thank you again for hosting.
Nice little basement apartment suited our needs while visiting with family and friends. No surprises, owner was quickly responsive to any questions/needs.
