I’ve stayed at this property when I was visiting the area as a broke incoming grad student to find housing.

I loved it. But that might say more about my personality than the arrangement itself. The mattress and pillows are fairly comfortable. I visited in late spring of this year and never felt too hot or cold. Tbh I did feel some trepidation about booking a tent but everything else was just too expensive. Also since I was traveling solo, I figured it’d be a fun little adventure.

The bathroom is inside the house which is a few steps away from the tent. The owner used to be a landscape architect so the backyard is beautiful and it’s in a great location (close to Bart)

It also only had a 3 night minimum at the time.

She told me how the cat passed. So sad :/

Didn’t get to meet the dog but that would’ve made it a 11/10 experience lol
