Host was really nice about letting us check in 2 hours before. Check in on day off was smooth too but we really wished that the host made a note in the listing where parking is not available on the street from 2am-6am everyday. Also there's street cleaning on different sides of the street Thurs/Friday.
The good:
-letting us check in early
-the area that we were in (very nice)
-clean room.
-AC
-price for the listing
The bad:
-Im not sure why but the host just stopped consistently communicating with us. We were having parking issues because it wasn't stated in the listing that we had to either purchase a parking permit, or park on their driveway. It was kind of frustrating having to figure it out. The host did not pick up her phone or respond to text messages. We did choose to park behind the gate, on the driveway and asked if it was ok, but no response. Most mornings we would wake up at 5:50am to move the car back down on the street. The host had a designated parking inside the gate next to their car, but their car was parked too far to the left so we couldn't fit.
Edit: she did respond to some texts but it was the next day.
-As for the room, it was nice and comfortable. However it is not that updated. The door needed so much force to go in. Almost like bargaining into the door. Bathroom does not have a fan but a window to air out. The walls were a bit dirty but overall an ok stay. Wouldn't stay here again but the price was a steal!
