I really enjoyed my stay here and left feeling very inspired! But I will start with some constructive feedback that can hopefully improve others’ experiences.
I would give 5 stars but I have to knock one star off because the bathroom was clean but there were multiple hairs in the sink and the shower which kind of sours one’s experience. And this made me wonder if I was sleeping in a bed that wasn’t the cleanest–you don’t actually sleep in the bed, but are provided linens on top of the green shag blanket pictured to sleep on top of, so in my opinion, this degrades the experience of such a beautiful bed. The linens were clean and smelled quite nice though, so I felt comforted by that. The listing had stated bathroom essentials would be provided, but I only saw men’s body wash, shampoo, but no conditioner. Perhaps mostly men stay here? Haha–it would’ve been nice to have more neutral or feminine options as well or to just remove that these are supplied from the listing if it’s best we bring our own. The coffee machine was also not working which Michael told me once I arrived. And the listing also said there was a kitchen space where guests can cook their own meals, but I wouldn’t really call it that–there was no way to make food or heat water for drinks aside from a microwave.
I also booked the space for 2 nights with intention to work remotely during my stay, but realized the pictures don’t necessarily match what’s in the space now. I was disappointed that not all the chairs pictured were present in the current space like the large soft chair in the office or the bucket chairs at the dining table–I didn’t have any super comfortable chair options which I was bummed about.
I honestly would’ve knocked down to 3 stars because of the aforementioned but Michael was very proactive in communications, super responsive, accommodating, and I can tell how much love he has put into this beautiful one-of-a-kind space. He took the time to meet me when I arrived, give me a tour of the space, and answer any questions I had.
On the flip side, the space is GORGEOUS. The courtyard is full of beautiful plants, art, and vibrant energy. The natural lighting and edgy decor of the interior space cut with splashes of green kicks off your day full of inspiration and good energy. If you need black out curtains/blinds, this space is not for you haha. AND YOU CAN PAINT THE WALLS! There are paints and brushes provided so you can leave your mark for others to enjoy–just avoid the wall that Michael mentions is dedicated to his friend which I thought was lovely. Thank you for a wonderful stay! My friends who visited all loved the space and enjoyed painting the walls with me. :)
