My wife and I spent four nights here while visiting our daughter at Cal Poly Humboldt. It felt like a home away from home and we really enjoyed our time in this cool, comfortable, and funky space. We will definitely look to stay here again when we come back.
In the neighborhood that the house is in, you do feel like you're in a castle on the hill and that everyone is looking at you. We didn't mind this, but I could see how some might.
It was foggy and chilly for our entire stay, so we didn't make much use of the deck, but it would be a great place to relax on a warm day (though it could use some comfortable chairs up there, perhaps).
No major complaints, but a couple of suggestions for the owners: Another lamp in the main living area would be nice. The little table lamp and the overhead lights provide two extreme lighting choices - very dim or very bright. A second lamp could make it just right. The space could also use more seating. When my daughter was over visiting, two of us sat on the lounge chairs, and the third person (usually me) was relegated to a hard dining room table chair. Not ideal.
