Pros:
-cost
-location (North Park)
-updated design, walk-in shower
-responsive hosts
Cons:
-cleanliness: this is a space to keep shoes or house slippers on. Made the mistake of going barefoot, and while the floor looks visibly clean, it's very grimy.
-extremely noisy: you can hear noise from above and outside very easily. There was construction on the street and this unit is on the corner of a very busy street, so you'll hear all the noise at night and early morning. This can kill the vibe if you are traveling with a partner, and actually made us feel unsafe at times when we were jolted awake by a large truck driving on the street or a loud bang from the restaurant upstairs. This is mentioned in the listing, but these details obviously were omitted. The hosts were responsive to my complaints, but did not offer any resolution or consolation.
-parking: the dedicated parking spot is free (very nice), but it's next to two dumpsters and very tight. You won't fit an SUV in there very easily, compact only. Smelly when it's hot, just FYI.
-check-in and check-out: just be aware that you'll be charged for requesting early check-in and/or late check-out. Note the check-in and check-out times are not typical (4pm is late, 10 am is early), so that's how they make this unit seem affordable and then tack on charges for those accommodations.
Overall, I wish I enjoyed the stay more than I did! The hosts seem like gracious people and the space has a lot of potential, but the constant noise, dirty floors, and lack of help from the hosts ensured that I stayed out as much as possible. Not a comfy stay.
