Unique, beautiful space, located in a terrible neighborhood. I am so torn writing this review because the upstairs space really was so funky and inviting, with nice upgrade touches like the espresso machine. But ultimately I would decide not to stay here again because the neighborhood itself is sketchy, with more of an industrial feel vs a safe neighborhood vibe. As such, we decided not to use the hot tub because we were too concerned with who might come through the fence while we were out there, to relax and enjoy any time outdoors.
Some reccos for the host: replace the lock, as the door doesn’t latch without a little effort. Install some landscape lighting to light the path from the driveway to the back door through patio as it’s difficult to see at night. Hire a pet odor remediation company to rid the basement of the cat urine smell. Update the location description to be clearer about neighborhood. Yes, the location is close to downtown, but there are safer, less industrial feeling neighborhoods just as close.
