I highly recommend the host as their communication was superb and they responded quickly to all questions. During the stay I asked for a couple of items (towel, hand soap) and the host delivered it to the porch within an hour. The instructions were clear and detailed - thank you for being such a great host. I do recommend this rental but there are a few things I wanted to describe for other travelers which took me by surprise:
(1) One major thing to keep in mind is that we stayed here during the hottest part of the year. The guest house does not have air conditioning though there is a portable unit in there. When we arrived, the house was 91 degrees. The portable unit did cool it off to a decent temperature at night but struggled during the day. So just keep that in mind if looking at staying here in July. I imagine this isn't a problem during cooler times of year.
(2) The description does oversell the area which is in the early stages of revitalization. The exterior of the main house is concerning when you first pull up. That, paired with a vacant building next door and an entire street that needs some TLC, really made us question whether we were at the right location. Given that we weren't familiar with the area, we were not comfortable walking from the house as is noted in the title of the listing. If you read further in the description, the host does recommend using a ride-sharing service which we did several times during our stay. On a positive note, there is plenty of parking in the street - I never had a problem finding a space directly in front of the house.
(3) The guest house itself is well described by the host. The photos capture the space well and the host's recommendation for it fitting a single traveler or couple is spot on. We had three staying and it worked but the pull-out sofa was not comfortable (what pull-out is?) and there really wasn't anywhere to store luggage. I can't imagine having 4 people stay in there but it worked well for us - a group of 3 very close friends staying for just a couple of nights.
Overall - 5 stars for these hosts but 3 stars due the items listed above. I do foresee this becoming a prime rental as the immediate area continues to revitalize.
