Views of a beautiful valley. This new addition is truly a full apartment. Not a basement - your unit is partly under us, but its main living space is not. Separate entrance (no direct access from our house) about 3.5 flights down from the road. This listing started Jan. 2022, but also see my spotless longer-term Airbnb record.
