Troll’s Hideaway is a Gem
Troll’s Hideaway is a one room (plus bathroom and tiny reading nook) in Fremont. Walking down the alley on the side of the house (which has movement lighting), you enter a small courtyard through a tall privacy gate. A sliding glass door locks and is opened with a key kept in a password protected lockbox.
The VRBO is absolutely beautifully decorated, with muted tones of green and neutral colors. While small, it is perfect for single visitors and couples who travel well together (think European hotel rooms). There’s an excellent Keurig, supplied with K-pods, sugar, Splenda, and creamer and a small refrigerator. Our host, Vlad, was excellent at communicating with us before and during our stay and arranged for delivery of K-pods when I let him know that we were running low.
There is another, larger unit, above this one. We happened to be there when a family with a toddler was staying upstairs. Naturally, there were running footsteps and the occasional outburst, but, since we are parents and can well remember those years, it didn’t bother us much!
The walk to downtown Fremont is 10-15 minutes downhill. I will confess that I lobbied for an Uber after dinner rather than walk back up! The neighborhood is lovely and very safe.
Our daughter lives in Fremont, and we will definitely stay here again. Thanks, Vlad, for being the perfect host!
