Bassel's space was great! If you're looking for a quiet and cozy place, this is definitely it. Nestled in a safe, residential neighborhood away from any main streets, it's ideal for couples that are seeking more peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle and noise of the city. However, as far as walkability and what you can get within a 5 min walk, there's not exactly a plethora of places to choose from. You won't find many trendy restaurants / bars, but there are several mom-n-pop eateries, couple coffee shops, and just a couple grocers. There is a Safeway though that is most likely popular for the area. Otherwise, you may have to hop in the car for some other needs.
The space itself is wonderful! Very clean, modern, and smartly decorated. To elaborate, I feel it's always a faux pas when hosts over-decorate (and clutter) with their Airbnbs. This may be just a more personal preference, but I prefer spaces like Bassel's that are sparse and clean (but cozy), with small-but-effective touches of decor. You don't come in feeling overwhelmed or feeling like you'll lose all of your belongings amongst the host's. This especially makes things like checking out quick and easy; just a quick scan of the room is all you need to find your belongings.
Speaking of, checking in / out is a breeze with Bassel, and everything is self-explanatory, which means more time for your vacation and getaway!
One of the few oversights in the space is not having a full length mirror in the unit, or enough counter space in the bathroom. If there were any suggestions on how to make this space even better, it would mainly be that -- a well positioned full-length mirror, and at least a small wall-shelf for the bathroom. Other than that, there's literally one circular mirror in the bathroom that just shows your upper body and face.
As far as toiletries are concerned, all the basics are here: toilet paper, paper towels, blow-dryer, body wash, shampoo, iron / ironing board, and garbage liners; bring your own toothpaste/brush. There's a few water bottles in the fridge, and delicious Ghirardelli chocolates on the table! A nice touch!
Overall, I would fully recommend this Airbnb to friends and family! Book with confidence!
