The best thing about Sunshine House is the location. A quiet, leafy area with enormous craftsmen houses. A safe area about 10-15 min drive from downtown. About a block away is a cute market and a couple of bakeries/cafes. The included breakfast is basic continental with lots of options -toast, yogurt, cereal, bacon, eggs, muffins, and endless coffee/tea. There’s a small fridge and microwave for guest use. Lisa, the owner, lives there with her family. It feels a little like staying at your friend’s grandma’s house, since my other experiences with B&bs were that they were guest only and catered to romantic weekends.
Despite what other reviewers noted, there is no litterbox smell (I have cats). There is a musty/mildewy smell throughout the house (maybe why it smells like grandma’s?) and the linens need to be cleaned better. They smell like they were forgotten in the washing machine for a few days and have a funky smell like gym clothes. I think her cleaner needs to bleach them in hot water.
Overall, it was an inexpensive place to rest my head in a quiet location. I am not sure I would stay again unless they can address the smell issue.
