Double duty...
AirBnB tenants coming this evening, so we decamped to the basement unit. The only functioning bits are the toilet and the bathroom sink. My workbench is doing double duty as the kitchen counter for a couple days...

Yes. Front door & back door. It's probably better described as a "garden unit." It's a brick three-flat, so all three units have front and back egress.

When I got to work today and replied to the the comments, the image was "broken". I don't know why. I fished it back out of Google Photos and now it displays properly. Let me know if it still appears broken.

Dang, I was hoping that was the buffet table, in which case I'd book a stay and help myself to a few items.

^ Dunno about that, but it is kind of cool to have my espresso machine right on the workbench.

Heck, if an AirBnB listing said "Complete Bike Workshop" it would go to the head of my list.

This really should be a checkbox on WarmShowers. Even more detail for the lesser-equipped, like repair stand available, sheltered repair space, basic tools, specialty tools, etc. Anywhere around the middle of a tour, there are likely to be some roadside quick-fixes that would benefit from an evening of proper maintenance.

When I did Warmshowers on the east coast I included the fact that I had a bike shop in the basement and it got used more than once by guests. Fun (and beer) was had by all.
