I have such mixed feelings about this place. I only stayed for one night and it met my needs and is cozy, but there are some considerations to ponder before booking.
Pro: Close to several great restaurants and bars for nighttime activities. The place is decorated well and there are nice touches like a Keurig with tea, coffee, and cold water. The shower was great, along with the late check-out time. I never felt unsafe and the murals close to the place are amazing.
Mixed: There is a lot of street noise with cars blasting radios and ppl talking. No fault of the owners, but you really can hear a lot of it. The check-in process was confusing and in looking at other reviews, I think others have had similar issues. The welcome message didn’t say that the entry was on the side. I eventually figured it out and had to go back to the listing to see the info. I also didn’t get a link for the automatic locking system. Jenna helped me through chat real-time when the key wouldn’t unlock the bottom lock which was very nice.
Cons: It’s not very accessible by transit and I’m very confused/shocked by reviews saying it is. When transit maps, and the owners, suggest taking an Uber, you know it’s a bit of a dead spot. It’s a 30min walk to the airport metro stop and the main bus runs once an hour. With prices surging the entire time I was there, it was a pain. I should have triple-checked before booking but a car, a bigger budget, or adventurous walking skills are definitely needed. Upstairs noise was a factor for me. In the bathroom, you could hear mostly full conversations. Also, I think a TV was left on so I could hear muffled noises from a movie into the very early morning.
Overall, it was fine and had no serious problems, but there could be some extra details finnessed to push it over the edge.
