Hello Kitty Guesthouse in SB

The guesthouse is located on the second level of the home and features its own private entrance, full bathroom, and a kitchenette equipped with a new microwave and refrigerator. As a big Hello Kitty enthusiast, I’ve decorated the space with a plush Hello Kitty wall and Sanrio character art pieces to create a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Please note that all décor items are part of the home’s character and carefully curated, so they must remain in the unit.
