Deco Garden Lounge - With Sauna Access!

Slow down in style at Deco Garden Lounge, a cozy two-bedroom, one-bath basement apartment with Art Deco accents and botanical charm. Settle in for a movie, make breakfast in the full kitchen, or head outside to the backyard garden lounge with retro patterns and glowing string lights. Shared access to the sauna room adds a little extra relaxation. Tucked beneath “Luxury mid-century modern retreat,” this welcoming hideaway makes staying in part of the getaway.

Your space includes private access to the entire downstairs apartment, and this includes the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and the 2 bedrooms described in the listing.

Listing access is limited to the downstairs, which includes private access to the kitchen, bathroom, and living room, and the 2 bedrooms described in the listing. You will also have access to on-street parking along Vanburen. The upstairs apartment, front yard, front patio, and garage are reserved for the owner and other guests.

I mostly communicate via the Airbnb messaging system. I`ll give a call if it seems like messaging isn`t working, if I need to communicate something lengthy, or if more communication bandwidth is needed to help you with your needs. I`m friendly, so if I am in the area, I may say hello in person.

You may notice that this property is listed as an `apartment` as opposed to a `home`. This property is my primary residence, as it must be in order to have a legitimate owner-occupied Airbnb license, which is the only type that is allowed in this historic neighborhood. Please note that we do have accommodations upstairs, which I reserve for myself and for my guests. The upstairs is completely separate from the downstairs spaces shown and described in the listing and photos. Your stay includes exclusive use of the downstairs accommodations noted in the listing. This is an owner-occupied property. The owner and other guests may be present in the backyard, sauna room, other shared spaces, and may stay in the upstairs apartment during your visit. We`ve taken steps to minimize sound transfer, but sound still carries between floors in both directions. Thank you for being mindful of yourself and all those sharing the property.
Welcome to Deco Garden Lounge! To ensure a comfortable and peaceful stay for everyone, we have some guidelines in place that we kindly ask you to follow.

Firstly, please note that we do not allow any illegal drugs, smoking, or vaping on the premises. Additionally, we ask that all guests respect quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM and refrain from hosting any parties.

We are pet-friendly and welcome furry friends at no extra charge. However, we do expect our guests to keep their pets attended and on a leash at all times, clean up after them, and ensure that there is no evidence of their stay when they leave.

For your safety, we have exterior security cameras at the front door, over the garage, front patio and overlooking the backyard toward the garage.

PLEASE NOTE: Your stay includes exclusive use of the basement apartment accommodations. This is an owner-occupied property, and the separate upstairs accommodations are not included in your reservation. The owner and other guests may be present in the backyard and may stay in the upstairs apartment during your visit. We`ve taken steps to minimize sound transfer, but sound still carries between floors in both directions. Thank you for being mindful and understanding of everyone who might be sharing the property during your stay.

As the garage space is retained by the owner and not rented to guests, there is a security camera located in this space. Your apartment is completely private, and we respect your right to privacy. There are no cameras or listening devices located inside your apartment.


Guest property remains the responsibility of the Guest, and any property left behind may be disposed of at our sole discretion. If you have lost something, please let us know, and we will do our best to recover it for you.

We send a rental agreement upon booking, which must be signed. A preview of the agreement is shown below. We may also require you to update your information with Airbnb if it is out of date or upload a copy of your driver`s license (front and back) to prevent fraud.

By booking with us, you agree to the terms stated as the `Guest` in the rental agreement below. You agree to affirm this with a digital signature, but for any reason you are unable or unwilling to digitally sign, you agree that you are still bound to the terms of the agreement shown here.

We understand that longer-term guests may have mail delivery needs, and we are happy to offer helpful alternative suggestions.

All guests staying on the Hosts` property must be listed in the booking, and any additional guests are subject to trespassing at our discretion. Registered guests have a reasonable right to privacy during their stay, which only extends to private areas of the property, and does not include any shared spaces or the perimeter of the property.

Lastly, check-out time is at 10:00 AM. Please be sure to check all drawers and under the bed for personal belongings, lock up when you leave, and let us know with a quick text. In case of an emergency, contact us right away, and if it`s a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

We hope you have a wonderful stay at Deco Garden Lounge, and please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable.
