The host was very reachable and it’s in such a good spot. Me and my friend had so much fun exploring SB and will be recommending this place to people who visit me when I move to SB next month!

Steep driveway scrapes the under carriage of your vehicle when entering and exiting. The garage parking is very tight. No other issues at all.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your overall stay.
We're sorry to hear about the issue you faced with the steep driveway. We do include a note in the check-in instructions to be mindful, as low-profile vehicles may have some difficulty. For this reason, we recommend guests with lower vehicles utilize the free on-street parking available nearby. We apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve the guest experience.
Thanks again for choosing to stay with us — we’d love to welcome you back in the future!
