PROS:
-Great host couple. Very warm and inviting and were flexible about our arrival time. They made great recommendations for activities, and even got Breditz's father involved, who drove us out to wine country (for an additional price). Definitely the kind of people you want to support.

-Central location. The apartment is off an alley that is right in the middle of the action. You can walk to see just about any of the city's sights, you hear the sounds and you really get a feel for what living in the city is all about.

-Stylish decor. The apartment had a cool style that made the experience incrementally better.

CONS:
-Didn't get much sleep. Now I realize that my experience is probably an exception to the rule as we only stayed in the room one night, but at about 4:45 am a septic truck pulled through the alley and began emptying the tanks from the buildings up and down the alley for the next 2.5 hours. I'm not a terribly light sleeper, but between the jackhammer-like sound of the generator in the tall-narrow alley walls and the smell, neither me nor my wife were able to go back to sleep. We even tried turning on some white noise but I could barely even hear the white noise from my phone over the truck. I realize the hosts have no control over this, but the point of renting a room is to sleep, and me and my wife did not get much of it, which did effect us the next day as we attempted to enjoy the city.

-Shared bathroom. Not a huge fan of taking turns in a bathroom with two other rooms. The fixtures were cool though.
