We loved staying here! Quiet location, cozy interior, and beautiful surroundings. Our host, Van, was very helpful with the entire stay and we appreciated receiving the short video showing exactly how to find the property and how to get inside. Highly recommended as a host and we would definitely stay here again.

Will break this down into two parts! Rental: Even though Julian is a small town this, rental made the most sense for having the closest walking distance to the Main Street which was perfect! The rental itself had everything we needed and was a cozy aesthetic. Pictures and descriptions matched the listing 👍 Renter: Van made the rental process very easy and was transparent in the entire process and was accommodating to any inquires I had. When looking at other rentals since my trip was very last minute, Van was the most responsive which took the stress off of waiting for a reply. Would definitely rent again!
