I stayed here for 1 month, and it was largely pretty good. The location is supreme, you are close to a Safeway, a park and multiple restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. Yan also provides a guest parking pass which was amazing, if you work normal hours and get back around 5/6pm, there is no issue with parking. I was able to find spots right in front of the unit, though if you are parking later in the evening it isn’t as easy but I always found something. It is a good temperature in the unit, however you cannot control it. Yan is very communicative and responsive and will help you change it if you need anything. He is a very good “landlord” and even had a broom delivered to the unit at my request. He is very great.
The unit is extremely small however but is useful for visiting people if you aren’t spending much time in the unit.
The wifi is not reliable, and went out a few times during my stay. Also, the table and chairs are extremely uncomfortable and hard to use. If you are working from home, they will definitely cause some problems. There is also a noise issue as you can hear the upstairs neighbor very clearly whenever they walk around.
A random weird issue though, while i was there Yan told me the door at the back was locked and simply a water heater. However, it was very clear that my upstairs neighbor had access to it and suddenly went into it and scared me. You can CLEARLY here that it is a washer and dryer, and when I told Yan he assured me it was just a loud humidifier. I heard the washer/dryer being used the next day. When you look up the unit, you can find old pictures that show you the back area contains a washer and dryer. I found it very odd Yan decided to lie about this even though it was so obvious.
Another thing, the unit sits at the top of a very large staircase that you have to use every day and might be an issue for anyone with disability or weakness and this was not advertised before.
Otherwise, the location is great and Yan is very helpful and responsive. Overall positive despite a few hiccups.
