Philip’s place is beautifully decorated in the quiet and cozy neighborhood of Petworth, just a few minutes away from cool local restaurants and shops.
Check-in was smooth and his instructions were accurate. Not sure if guests with pets are allowed, but on initial check-in things smelled a bit like a cool K9 had occupied it previously. After using a bottle’s worth of lemongrass air spray from Trader Joe’s, I was able to get the place smelling as good as it looks.
The back entrance was a bit dark, cold narrow and wet, so consider bringing smaller luggage if you’re going to stay there. Also the hot water in the shower seemed to have a timer of 10-12 minutes, after which it went from hot to luke warm all 3 days.
The walls in the basement apartment are extremely thin, so if you’re a light sleeper it may be tough hearing footsteps, movements and voices upstairs.
My overall experience was positive with some minor inconveniences.
