Philipp’s place is perfect, and he’s an ideal host.
The place has the most incredible balance of lived in and minimal — you feel like you’re in someone’s home (because you are), but it isn’t at all cluttered. The books on the shelf have me believe that I’d deeply enjoy a long chat with Philipp :)
The location is GREAT. Close to 24th, but somehow quiet.
Philipp was a gracious and helpful communicator, and it was super easy to get in.
It’s also amazing to have a place that will accept a dog AND isn’t doggy smelling at all.
Genuinely excellent all around. 10 out of 5 stars. I hope to be back!
(If you’re looking for a lovely dinner, I recommend the tapas place on 24th: Destapas. It was full of Spaniards when I was there — like teleporting to Barcelona. Also: If you’re traveling with a dog, there is a delightful, locally owned pet supply store on 24th called ShipyardK9 — the owner is awesome and grew up in the neighborhood!)
