We enjoyed this place for our 2.5 week stay and would recommend it!
Pros: secure building, amazing views, coin laundry in the building, walkable to tons of places, great space for a “studio” - we had friends visit one weekend and used the Murphy bed which was really great! Kitchen had what we needed, bed was comfy and the desk w chair was helpful for doing virtual work.
Opportunities:
The host stopped by one day unannounced and let herself in which is not okay IMO. She brought us some pastries which was sweet, but I was in the shower and felt violated. I was clear with the host that this was unacceptable so hopefully this will not happen again.
The carpet is not well done and there were exposed nails/staples which we tripped on and cut our feet - the host offered to have the handyman fix it same day but we declined since we were leaving the next day - she said it should be fixed before the next guest but also said that it was fixed before us so hopefully it’ll be done right this time.
No parking available, so if you have a car this will be an additional cost. The host did help me arrange a discounted parking spot at a hotel a few blocks away which worked well for me but was an unexpected cost (this one was my fault for not considering before booking, so I was grateful for the hosts help).
