Something I would like to myth bust from other reviews I’ve read; Parking is an absolute breeze. You can pull in or back in depending on the direction in which you arrive. If you’ve ever parallel parked this is level 1 difficulty. There’s literally nothing in your way. From there you are about 15-20 steps into your place. If you read and follow the directions, check in is the easiest thing. The cottage isn’t hard to find at all. Everything about this place makes sense. It’s so private! It’s super quiet! I stayed on the 4th of July and outside you could hear fireworks but once I went inside with the fan on and windows shut I couldn’t hear anything. To give you a comparison my daughter stayed at large hotel downtown and every time the room next door shut their door it sounded like it was inside her room + the hallway noise way very loud. Louie’s is super close to the highways so you’re 15 minutes to everything and public transportation is easily accessible but if you wanna feel like a local, hang out in Normal Heights or any of the surrounding neighborhoods. Several convenient stores near here. If you are expecting luxurious linen, massages and room service this place isn’t for you (but you should try it anyway)! If you value privacy, more space than a hotel room, easy parking after a long day of adventuring, a nice shower, walkable cafes, your own fridge/cooking area and a place to get fresh air without a bunch a hustle and bustle this place IS for you. I will stay here every time I come to SD.
5 star! No complaints at all!
