I really wanted to love this place because Chris seemed so nice and friendly when I requested the booking, but in the end, I left a day early because it was so uncomfortable and not worth the money.
First the good:
- Easy check in and good communication
- Nice design elements through the house. Awesome plants!
- Good location near lots of bars and restaurants!
- Grant was pretty responsive to concerns I raised and made an attempt to resolve in a timely fashion.
Now the unfortunate:
- Faucet and shower were not really working. Made the bathroom/shower frustrating to use.
- Listed amenities such as Aesop soaps were empty, so I had to go buy my own soap.
- Bed was super itchy - not sure if it was the linens or bugs. Made for some nights with little sleep.
- The room was not clean: dusty carpets and trash remaining from a previous guest.
- The room gets super noisy - you can hear all the street noise as people walk past at night. Additionally, the wooden floors above don't have any insulation, so it sounds like someone is about to fall thru the ceiling while you're sleeping.
Like I said, Chris and Grant were both great, but in the end I left early because I didn't want to pay to be uncomfortable on my holiday. I think the issues listed above can be improved with a bit of effort on their part.
