I stayed in the room with the half bath downstairs and it truly was a better experience than what I was expecting based on the reviews. I would not recommend this room if you’re 6-foot or taller but I’m 5-foot-9 without shoes so I was able to stand and move around comfortably with ease. Yes, you’re going to hear the faint but soundproofed noise of planes landing every few minutes in the morning but I actually work in the industry so it’s no big deal to me. The Wi-Fi worked wonderfully and I was able get a lot of work done on my laptop at the desk in the room when I wasn’t out-and-about in the city. Loved that Cable TV is provided as well so I can keep up with my sports/news! Michael’s spot is centrally located and it’s an easy, quick walk to the bustling yet iconic Little Italy neighborhood. For the ever-so-awesome Gaslamp Quarter, I’d recommend Uber/Lyft/Bird/Lime as it’s about a 25-minute walk. Ashley is a terrific, helpful host & was always available to answer my questions. She was friendly & even gave me valuable tips about the city! The extensively renovated house dates back to the late 19th century so it feels as if you are staying in a time capsule right in the heart of the historic Banker’s Hill neighborhood. I personally had no problems with the macerating toilet but I’d recommend you go upstairs into the house for more complex bodily functions. There’s three bathrooms in this house so there should be no wait for one if you need to shower/bath/groom. I did have a car the first day I was there and parking was a cinch as well as being close by. I’d stay here again a heartbeat & this place has incredible value in proportion to the location. Thanks for being a part of making my stay in America’s Finest City memorable & pleasurable.
