This place is in a fantastic neighborhood and is a nice size. It was super easy to get in, check in and get wifi. I had read past reviews about the hot water going out- looks like that issue had been fixed as I took nice hot showers without any issue. Laysin is a responsive host and was helpful with all of my requests. The furniture is basic and there are no frills but I just worked from home and was out visiting with friends all the rest of my stay. I loved how close it was to the grand lake theatre, lake meritt, Trader Joe’s, coffee, food, etc. i also highly recommend the Cat House bar around the corner. Order the Irene!
