Shirley's East Side Retreat (Owner Occupied)

My home is situated at the very edge/far east side of Madison, in the Glacial Hills Neighborhood. A humble, cozy, and eclectic retreat with easy access to I39/90/94 and Hwy 51 and 151. By car it's around 12 to 15 minutes (6 to 7 miles) (closer to 20 mins. on a busy day) to the State Capitol and UW Madison Campus, and less than 9 minutes to the Dane County Airport and approximately 5 minutes to East Towne Mall. Owner occupied (LICHMD (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) & ZTRHP (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) My listing shows two bedrooms, but should you only need the ONE bedroom, then I do not allow the second bedroom to be booked during your stay. If YOUR group/party needs BOTH bedrooms, then you would book according to the number of people in YOUR group/party, up to a max. total of four people. My home is a bi-level house which means taking six steps down to reach your room to an exposed lower level. There are two separate bedrooms with a double/full size (54"x74") bed, a desk, dresser, and closet in each bedroom. Between the two bedrooms is your, or your group's, private bathroom. The family/living room area is just outside your bedroom and it's yours to relax in. It has a TV (no cable), DVD, radio, piano, and board games. In addition to your bedroom and private bathroom, you will have a family room all to yourself. Outside your room is a mini refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig single serve coffee maker to use, but no stove. ALL food/beverages (except water) is to be consumed at the table in the family room. NO food/ beverages (except water) is to be consumed in your bedroom. I do not and have not asked for a security deposit, but if for any reason you choose to not abide by the food/beverage stipulation, you have then chosen to accept the responsibility for any/all additional charges that result in making the area whole.
