The house has 5 bedrooms: two bedrooms each with private bathrooms and queen-sized beds, two additional bedrooms with queen-sized beds, one bedroom with four bunk beds, and a pull-out sofa in the living room with a queen-sized foam mattress for additional guests.

There is basic workout equipment and a full washer and dryer in the covered carport, as well as a bonus detached restroom next to the outdoor fireplace for ease of access while outside. The neighborhood has been quickly growing since we purchased the property as our personal residence in 2017, with a few shops and bars within a 5-minute walk from your front door: Folkores Coffee House serves up amazing specialty coffees and basic morning brews, Alebrije Bakery has newly opened and is often seen with a line out the door to buy their fresh breads, pastries, and cookies, Betty's Battalion is a funky little bar with cheap beer and live music, and Breakaway Brewing Company, a bicycle-themed brewery will be opening their doors in early 2023! All of these establishments are 3 blocks away from your front door. There is also a bike lane that continues all the way down Grayson Street to let you safely ride to the Pearl Brewery and shops in 7 minutes. Daily or weekly bike rentals are available at the Pearl Brewery area from Bike World.

Check out items were minimal. We had a group of 8 and everyone said the beds were very comfortable. Kitchen is stocked with basic items and coffee tobget the morning started. Bathrooms had plenty of towels and have shower gel and shampoo if needed. Plenty of parking behind the gate for our truck and car. The neighborhood was very quiet though and we saw very little traffic or people walking around. We kept the vehicles parked and used Uber to go out. House is convenient to downtown, The Park at Pearl and the Frost Center. ##### Jeanette Z.
