Kei is a so nice and a wonderful host, very responsive before we got there, with great suggestions for local spots. He had guide books and maps to help us get around.
Pros about Kie’s place:
—Location fantastic right in Soho which is a very urban, artsy neighborhood.
—Window view from bedroom of Hollywood Way is sunny and great (large, active street with lots to do).
—Private air conditioning in the room that you can regulate. Wonderful to get out of the heat.
—Huge choice of shampoos, soaps, and conditioners.
—No light coming in to the small common area.
Cons:
—Very small apartment with only hand-held shower over the toilet.
—Older mattresses so wasn’t super comfy if you had a bad back. We are 65 and we’re fine but we don’t have back problems.
—Very small kitchen with one hot plate on which to cook.
—Is on the second floor and window faces noisy street. We didn’t care because we were so exhausted from our flight that we just slept hard anyway. But on the weekend I imagine that the noise goes until late.
—We didn’t understand from the listing that the apartment was shared.o
