READ BEFORE BOOKING:
★ Your Private Space: You have private access to all the spaces pictured, which includes the entire main & upstairs levels, the driveway & whole front yard with covered deck, the patio with seating, and the grills & fire pit. You have access to the garage game room as well, however the homeowner quietly comes and goes to his Lower-Unit through a private door in the garage, as noted below.
★ Lower-Unit: Jake, the homeowner, has turned the basement of this property into a secure and separate lower-unit, and lives there. You will not have access to that space or the backyard/patio during your stay. Jake may be out of town for work occasionally and will quietly come and go through his private door inside the garage. Jake is very friendly and may also access his desk in the corner of the garage on occasion.
★ Lower-Unit Tenant: A long-term tenant is currently renting a room of the lower-unit from Jake and living with him. He has his own private parking space and accesses his apartment by the private backyard patio entrance through the back of the home. He does not have any contact with guests and does not have access to the garage like Jake does.
