As mentioned by other reviewers, Brian is a fabulous host, he was on top of any issues that came up. The neighborhood felt very safe and the on street parking was never a problem which was a big concern of mine because I work a lot of nights. I loved walking up the hill for the amazing views and the people were friendly. The studio was clean but space is tight with the bed down. Lots of hot water and shower water pressure was very good. There really isn't any way to dine on the counter because it's waist high and the one straight backed chair is too low so I ended up using the tray to eat. Kitchen is a little challenging but I did quite a bit of cooking over the month and it was fine. Where the listing fell short for me was overall the unit didn't feel private because most people walked past the "front" window to enter the complex and use the stairs so I ended up cracking the door and the blinds instead of keeping them open. (And the stairs reverberate so you hear every time someone uses them). Also the common area in the back was unkempt so that was a disappointment. (The little laundry room was clean though). I think this unit is ideal if you need a nice clean functional space but don't plan to spend a lot of time there.
