My room was super Cute and Cozy! Check in was easy with the access codes, I arrived at night and it was a tad dark and wet with sprinklers. But I got in with no problem and a great lyft driver making sure I got in safely.
Communication was excellent through the airbnb app.
A few details that could have been better: a lamp was missing a screw and falling off the wall, the sink filled up with clogged water on night 1 (they fixed this!), the bathroom outlet never worked (said was fixed and wasn’t), the toilet paper roll holder was coming out of the wall, I couldn’t figure out how to turn off the fan or turn on the recessed lights. The fire alarm went off (they fixed this). And the sound of water running is non-stop since my window was next to a fountain outside.
There seems to be plenty of street parking for those with a car.
The neighborhood:
Up and coming...
It’s possibly on the border of 5 points and RiNo and curtis park.
If you walk left a few blocks out of the bnb you will find run down places and a lot of homeless people. If you walk straight to Larimar street and walk right down it you will find numerous trendy bars and coffee shops and lively hipster happenings.
There are new condos being constructed across the street. Its a true mix of gentrification / hipsters/ young business folk and homeless beggars. Its really still in the beginning stages of the “up and coming”
I personally felt uneasy walking around anywhere but Larmair street in the area.
There is no close food store (I think there is a safeway which a lyft driver called “un-safeway) and no small bodega to pick up items like medicine or toiletries- you will need to take a ride more in the city to get anything you might need.
Overall, I might stay here again when the neighborhood is cleaned up more. I feel bad for the homeless but also don’t like feeling unsafe. If you arent a single female alone and you love beer, coffee and art- stay here !!
