First positives.
Chris and Meghan communicated well. The place was clean and accurate to pics. The building in general always felt safe, and was old but still in good condition. Had charm. The location of the front door is right by a well lit Mexican restaurant that is super tasty. No homeless people by it. There’s a security guy always at the restaurant so you feel extra safe.
Here’s a tip.. they will send you a check in video that shows them walking into the building and into the elevator… the elevator looks super old and worn out, broken floor laminate, chipped paint all over etc. don’t worry, the rest of the building is not worn out. No it’s not as elegant as a hotel, but it’s just fine.
Negatives. Parking and homeless. Homeless population huge. Parking sucked. There is a public parking garage super close, but it was $85/night. Another public garage was $30, an extra 5 minute walk. Ask hosts for clear parking instructions with prices, locations, and comparison chart (needed).
