The host: Kevin was a great host and was excellent at prompt communication. I booked a last minute stay and he was very accommodating. He also let me keep a bag in the apartment an hour beyond the check out time to help with an interview schedule I was on.
The location: excellent! Within walking distance of Sprouts and CVS and Kaiser.
The place: typically I am traveling for work and the most important things for me personally are cleanliness and quiet, which were not the case at Kevin’s. I unfortunately had a pretty rough night. The crosswalk signal could be hear all night from the bedroom. The household also wakes up very early, at 5:15am when I could hear the roommate on the phone and in the bathroom. The room was also generally very dirty. The carpet was super sticky and there was a fine layer of dust and film on everything in the room and bathroom. There was also a super strong odor of food and fried food in the apartment that gave me a migraine on top of my difficult night of sleep. If these are priorities to you I would not recommend a stay at Kevin’s.
