Great location! Very homey feeling. Helen and Martin were easy to communicate with and ensured we had someone there to help us with check-in even though they were traveling, and they left some great recommendations. Very easily walkable to a lot of cool neighborhoods and sights, effective A/C (and it was 95–100 F / 35–38 C while we were there, so that was vital haha), and lots of great food options on the block. Also had a solid kitchen setup, which was great so we could prepare some meals there without having to eat every meal out. Would definitely recommend if you plan on being out and about but still want a cozy home base.
Notes to be aware of:
- The bathroom is on the smaller size (particularly the toilet/sink setup), so if you have a larger frame it might be a bit tough to maneuver.
- There are two flights of stairs when you walk in to the building that are a bit steep
- Neighborhood is a little lively, so if some street/sidewalk noise bothers you and you plan on going to bed earlier that might be tough. (We were on US Pacific time still, so we were out until 3–5am anyway)
These weren't really a problem for us, but I realized they might cause concern for some travelers.
In any case, would still definitely recommend.
