The location was fantastic. You are just between two cute neighborhoods with walking access to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, a Rite-Aid, and all-important coffee. Perfect for two people, but I wouldn’t add more unless they are your kids (frosted-slightly-see-through plastic on the bathroom doors would make me more intimate with most my friends than I care to be). The area felt safe. The access to the freeway couldn’t have been easier.... And other reviewers didn’t up-sell the bed upstairs, it really was great!
My biggest issue was a general lack of attention to detail. Just some examples from the week: a rusty kitchen drying rack (and bathroom fixtures); the towel rack had been torn out of the bathroom and the ragged holes weirdly left there unpatched- so we just had the drying rack above the toilet so towels would draped over the tank (kinda icky); and unless we wanted to use wine glasses for all drinks (bougie, lol), the only “regular” cups were just 6ish disposable plastic cups arraigned in the cupboards like normal glassware (odd and cheap). The the big kicker was that check-in was delayed. We showed up on time for check-in and were told to go away and come back later so the cleaning crew could finish up. We’d been up since 4am traveling, so this felt like torture when all we wanted was a nap. Details matter, so it’s 4-stars from me.
