Room U is an absolute treasure, and Stephanie and Nate have gone above and beyond to create a space that is stylish yet inviting, minimalistic yet stocked with essentials, and decked with so many thoughtful details that turn this hip loft into a 5-star experience.
Stephanie and Nate were wonderful hosts, extremely helpful and communicative, and Nate even welcomed us and helped us bring our luggage upstairs. Being diligent about COVID, we were extremely happy to discover the space is meticulously maintained and absolutely spotless.
We opted to reserve a parking spot—highly recommend doing this—with our car safely parked, we were able to enjoy cruising around the city on scooters or simply walking to all the local shops and restaurants in Little Italy.
My girlfriend and I fell in love with the vibe of the space, which blends style and comfort in its furniture, linens, and pared down tech. This place isn’t for someone wishing to post up watching TV—so be aware there’s no TV or microwave—but be sure to check every drawer as tucked away you’ll find some necessary tools like a hot plate and dishrack. But for people like us, we loved the absence of these things, as we spent our time truly enjoying the other cool features of the apartment and of course the city beneath us.
The coffee was a wonderful touch, and we enjoyed drinking our morning cups on the balcony, which offers a beautiful view of the bay, the train passing a few blocks down, and sounds of music from the restaurants below. Our favorite touches were definitely the bar+bar tools, Marshall Bluetooth speaker, the balcony—and the sleep machine is a game changer. In these times, that’s all you need to recreate the ambience of going out. We could simply bring food back from one of many spots nearby, shake up some fresh cocktails and enjoy some music and ambience in this awesome space.
We can’t say enough good things about this place. We cannot wait to return, and will definitely be staying here every time we visit SD!
