I was really expecting this place to be comfortable, but it was far from that. Here’s the some facts.
Parking is very difficult.
The neighborhood is sketchy at night.
The adjacent corner of Spring/14th is very active with drug use.
Very steep flight of stairs from the street up to the second floor. A struggle with heavily luggage.
Then you’ll find another series of awkward staircase inside.
The second “bedroom” is not a bedroom. The “bed” is a not sleep able fold out with a metal post in your back.
The master bedroom is has a king bed that is fine, but the pillows are the WORST. Felt like balled up dirty socks in pillowcase. A decent pillow is a small gesture that host could have easily invested in, but chose not to.
The terrible pillows and foldout sleeper coupled with the all night noise of vagrants shouting, fighting, and burning rubber makes for an awfully sleepless slumber.
Luckily one of the nights we stayed it rain, so the activity outside was muted, but still inside is rather soulless establishment.
The bathrooms were just fine. The showers are great.
You can load up in the alley behind the house, which will cut down on some steps, but watch your back at night.
In the end, the communication was wonderful, but I really wish this was a cozy two bedroom like it appears to be. I understand the host cannot change the neighborhood, but they should put some effort into the hospitality.
We should have just gotten a hotel.
