Haim was a great host for my brief trip. See below for more info:
Pros:
- Neighborhood (cute and quiet, I felt safe coming home alone in the evening)
- Studio was well cleaned (host was available if I needed anything)
- Well lit outside in the evening
- Very walkable (there's a nice coffee shop and a Whole Foods within a 15 min walk)
- There was nothing in the kitchen I wanted that I didn't have (to be fair, I didn't want much!)
- Very comfortable bed (others mentioned this, and it's true)
- Host was available (via phone) but stayed scarce and gave me space - which is what I wanted
- Pretty quiet (I couldn't hear much from the main home upstairs - or the neighborhood in general)
Cons:
- There was a weird smell coming from the toilet (turning the fan on helped but given that the toilet opens right into the living space, I just kept the door closed and it was OK)
- No washcloths (luckily I brought my own - however, there were plenty of towels)
Keep in mind:
- It's good for 1 person, or a very close couple (romantic or not), probably too small for more than 2 people, including kids
- Street parking is a bit limited (if you have 1 car it may be OK, more than that you may have difficulty, keep that in mind - I mainly Ubered so it wasn't a problem for me)
- It's a stone floor with rugs throughout (which I knew by the photos) - just bring some socks or house shoes and you'll be fine
- Natural light is a bit limited but personally, I didn't mind and liked the frosted windows and light inside the space (of which, there is plenty)
Overall, I would recommend this for a single traveler and would stay here again - thank you!
