** OTHER THINGS TO NOTE **
We have our hot-tub for you to use at anytime. Please keep in mind that my spa maintence technician will be at the property every Thursday between 10am-2pm to do the regular maintence for us.
There is not a dedicated parking spot. Street parking is very close-by but on a first come basis in a busy neighborhood, and we cannot guarantee there is a spot near the home. This is an AMAZING walkable location and UBER/Lyft's are easy.
