Cool location and building adjacent to the hotel side of Bisha and its swish rooftop with pool. This is open to the public but Sarah offered to book a chair and towel for me too which would’ve been nice if I had time.
However the unit was not really ready for guests - there were towels, linens and a couple mugs and cups, but basically nothing else to make this a home and a compelling value proposition vs a hotel - no silverware, coffee, bowls, ironing board, sugar, etc. When I pointed this out, Sarah mentioned previous guests had stolen items and promptly had a bunch of items delivered that afternoon. Unfortunately I was in town for a hectic work trip so didn’t have time to unpack the silverware and wash the items and get everything set up in the middle of my stay. This is hopefully all sorted for figure guests, but worth being very specific about your requirements in advance.
A note about the location - it’s super central in the entertainment district. Just note that it is surrounded by 3 different high-rise construction projects which started structural impact drilling and noise from about 7:30am. Not a big deal during the work week but may be jarring (literally) if you’re booking a stay-cation.
Finally - this is a studio, not a 1 bedroom. Approx 500 sq ft.
