This was a lovely experience: host, location, home, room and comforts during my 5 night stay. I had passed by this street upon arriving in BA and wondered to myself "who lives there?...what it is like in those homes?...and I want to live there." And then I found myself there by chance of having to book lodging last minute...always in awe of what manifests with ease while traveling ; )
Jackie is kind and welcoming and can provide great insight about the area, practically and beyond. After being solo in a cookie-cutter studio apt coming here was refreshing because it was a home, and a beautiful one at that. It was nice having some of the basics in addition of kitchen condiments and such.
The room I had was small, but perfect, cozy and comfortable because everything was tucked into the amazing closet and I also had access to other areas of the public spaces that were abundantly spacious. There is a lovely rooftop too. I loved that it was so quiet...with so much construction in the Palermo Hollywood area this was the first and last place I stayed where it was so quiet, the best!
During my stay another woman also stayed for 1 night in another room...I was told this when I arrived, but I don't remember reading it in the posting that more than one guest might stay at the home. I might have missed reading it in the posting, but it was new information for me--nevertheless it did not detract from my experience in any way.
