Ricks home is in a great location. It was nice having access to a workspace, laundry and a dishwasher, and to be within walking distance to 24th and Valencia. The bedroom I stayed in was bright and sunny, which was lovely! They were also just finishing up the remodel on the shared backyard, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. It will be a great place to hang out for future guests, especially once the furniture is up!
A few things to consider for your stay: the dishwasher is loud, so you’ll want to run it before you go to bed. The home, like so many in the area, is dark in the inside minus the bedroom in the back of the building (which, again, is gorgeous). And while there is free street parking in the area, it’s labor-intensive. You can expect to spend about 30 minutes per day dealing with parking, and that 30 minutes might end with you in a free spot, or it might end with you paying to park in the nearby hospital ramp for about $25/day. Finally, there’s a slight discrepancy between furniture/decor in the photos and what was there at the time of my stay (for example, there wasn’t a chair in the living space and the bedding was blue, amongst a couple others).
Overall this was a well-located building with a sunny bedroom, gorgeous outdoor space and friendly hosts! I enjoyed my stay!
