I stayed here for about 7 weeks and it was an average experience from a long term perspective. I'd consider it an average experience due to the $100 lockout fee I had to pay near the end of my stay. There were no spare keys and its a pretty significant fee as I'm positive any locksmith would charge less for the two minute lockout job. Also, the location may be in the arts district, however there are no cafes, shops, etc. in reasonable walking distance. There was also the occasional late night piano playing which was not ideal, but manageable.

Regardless of these issues, Chris was a friendly and responsive host overall. There was privacy when you needed it, the room was in great shape, and the bed was comfy. Laundry and parking were very convenient as well.

I think this would be a great spot for a short term stay!
