The full kitchen in apartment 2 offers everything you need for a quick snack or a full meal. The built-in banquette provides a wonderful perch to enjoy the afternoon, and you can see the history of the home in the custom farmhouse table. Made entirely from reclaimed wood (the legs are made from studs reclaimed from the house!) and on casters of easy moving, the table is a perfect addition to the house. Finally, the spacious, spa-like bath is a perfect place to unwind with beautiful views of the backyard. The separate vanities provide plenty of space for you and your guests to store your effects, and the amazing shower with built-in bench and two shower heads invites you to relax for a while. Step outside and the real fun begins. The beautifully restored front porch offers plenty of space to lounge and gather. Draw the curtains for additional privacy, or to shade yourself from the afternoon sun, and spread out on the spacious sectional. Follow the lighted path to the back of the house, and you will find the most amazing backyard in the neighborhood -- custom designed and accessible, the backyard offers hammocks, outdoor lounge areas, and a Weber propane grill. Perfect for entertaining or relaxing! We try to make all of our spaces inviting homes away from home, so we strive to provide all of the comforts you might need to make your stay enjoyable. We take pride in the comfort of our beds and bedding, offering memory foam mattresses and breathable, bamboo sheets, which are soft, eco-friendly, and hypoallergenic. We also stock the apartments with organic, paraben- and cruelty-free shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and body wash. Finally, to make your travel a little easier, all of our kitchens are stocked with locally-roasted whole bean coffee, grinders, kettles, and french presses, as well as an assortment of caffeinated and decaf teas. We hope you have a wonderful stay with us! Guest Access: Guests will have exclusive access to the apartment during their stay.
