This is the absolute best location if you want to explore Little Italy. The space is clean and airy and comes with a garage parking space. There were also plates, silverware, and laundry detergent available for use.
The upstairs bathroom is very loud when it flushes so don’t expect someone to sleep through that unless they are already konked out with ear plugs and the white noise machine that are required for the downstairs bedroom. We are from the city and are used to ambient noises such as cars, planes, and passing conversations. But the 2 walls are filled with such thin windows that you might as well be sleeping on the street. We were startled awake a few times by skateboarders, trash trucks, street sweeping, and normal-level conversations on the sidewalk outside.
The couch is very comfortable and the washer/dryer worked well. It’s a steam dryer so it will take like 5 hours to dry anything (had to blow dry some clothes that weren’t done in time). Great outdoor spaces and nice secure garage (though tight spots).
There’s nothing that screams “tourist” more than not being able to open your front door. There was no rhyme or reason to if the door would open when we put the code in. We would hear the lock engage multiple times but skip over the door chamber. We pulled and pushed and did the hokey-pokey but in the end it seemed to come down to luck if the door opened or not.
All in all, I’m glad we stayed with Diego for the location but it’s too noisy for us to stay there again.
