Okay, so, I really like giving hosts good reviews because I know hosting can be a lot of work. I've also travelled extensively around the world from beautiful mountain houses in Colombia to $10 a night guesthouses in Asia but this wasn't an awesome stay. It wasn't the worst either. The size of the place was no problem. It is small just like the host says it is. No big deal. We were there for one night because of an early morning meeting the next day so we weren't looking for an expensive place. It's definitely a good low-cost option for a short stay. It was clear that we had to enter through back and some have commented that the neighborhood doesn't feel safe. It was my wife, me and our two little kids and the neighborhood wasn't a problem. For a solo traveler, maybe, but don't let the location freak you out. The alley is...an alley. So it's not nice but the host could improve the entrance to make it more welcoming. There was broken glass when unloading the car so not ideal. It's a basement unit with pretty poor airflow so after a warm day it was muggy and stuffy inside and it never got comfortable through the night so we didn't sleep well. That could be improved with a better a/c unit. The beds were fine and felt clean so no issue there. The bathroom smelled like a basement bathroom that had been enclosed during a hot day. It did smell like smoke in the bathroom so I'm assuming another guest didn't respect the hosts ruled prohibiting smoking so that's not on the host, but on people who don't respect house rules. So overall the biggest issue was the stuffiness and that it didn't feel all that clean. The host was really nice and communicative which was appreciated. Street parking wasn't an issue at all. Would I stay again? No, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't. It's good for what it is--a seemingly safe low-cost option especially when considering everyone who hosts on Airbnb charges ridiculous cleaning fees. It's awesome this host doesn't charge a crazy high fee but some effort could be made to make the place feel cleaner and more comfortable. I don't like giving less than positive reviews but it is what it is.
