Fantastic location, couldn’t be cleaner, the rooms have not quite themed but styled looks that are very interesting and unique. The shared. At grooms are gorgeous and kept spotless, the showers would accommodate someone who’s 8 feet tall easily. It’s a nice touch that the room has shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The bed was insanely comfortable! I meant to check what kind of bed it was but I forgot to which I regret! The experience is very private, there are friendly staff on site but they aren’t overly interactive which works for me. There’s a nice patio out back with a BBQ and a fountain that I could hear if I opened my window.
The location is perfect, there’s an Ace parking lot just North of A St on 7th that I used a few times for $15/24h with in and out privileges. I suggest downloading the app vs using the kiosk if you want to stay in the lot for longer than 2hr (for $10). There’s also some rather intimidating back in street parking that I got used to but it’s 2 hours only so if you’re planning on spending time in the airbNB I think the host recommends a parking app but I don’t recall which one. If you have a pet there’s a really cool little park about 4 blocks North on Date and 8th St with all these cool bird houses and info about wrens and these little false fire hydrants for dogs and those dog bag stations and a playground and some metal chairs and benches. It’s an interesting location for a park since it’s freeway adjacent but it was the perfect dog walk distance from The Chadwick. There’s also a convenience store at the base of The Cortez about a block away and a 7-11 a couple blocks away, coffee shops, a store with a huge selection of gourmet food, wines and the most diverse collection of liquor I’ve ever seen a couple blocks south on 7th called… Niks I think? The host, John, is incredibly gracious and attentive, answers quickly and was very nice and understanding even when I made everyone’s life difficult by bringing way too much stuff into my room and then struggling to get it all out at checkout. I don’t think there are elevators, something to consider if stairs are a challenge. Overall i had a lovely stay, it’s peaceful and quiet, safe and warm and the other people I met were very nice. I highly recommend this AirBNB location! My stay made me wish I knew more about the building itself….
