if i were still in my 20s this place likely would have been fine, but in my 40s, these accommodations were pretty unsavory to me. jose seems like a perfectly nice person, so i feel badly giving a poor review but his place was nothing like the photos.
the house was a huge mess, the kitchen filthy with a sink full of dishes and food remnants piled up on the counter (i only stored a few things in the fridge for a day, so it didn’t actually impact me beyond just seeing the mess but i did wonder how it couldn’t attract vermin), i found the bed terribly uncomfortable but thankfully the futon in the side room was better so i slept on that after the first night of backaches, and the bathroom sink and toilet bowl were dirty, though the shower seemed clean.
i will say that the room itself was cleaner than any other part of the house, so at least my accommodations were held to a higher standard, and jose communicated well to workout check in/out, and was flexible. maybe this place is more appealing in the summer - i see everyone else loved the rooftop, and i didn’t experience that. during my stay, however, i found his home to be dirty and uninviting. but like i said, 20 years ago i probably wouldn’t have minded as much, so if you’re young and a bohemian and relish an artist’s mess, don’t rule this place out.
