Grass Valley
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (13 reviews)
"This is a cute spot for people who don’t mind stairs or tiny ladders up to their sleep space. Also no tv in the home. The initial room you come into is a washer/dryer basement with a pseudo lounge area. The main floor has the kitchen/ living area and bathroom. Very steep stairs/ladder to the final level which was nice with lots of ventilation options. It was clean, well outfitted in the kitchen and toiletries, and overall a nice space."
