Pros:
The actual house is lovely. Once you get inside, it is modern, clean and was great for two friends who didn't want to share a bed. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms is awesome. It's also very close to a metro station, which is nice for those traveling not by car.
Scott is very organized. Everything is labeled and easy to find, and the house has a lot of great features, like the projector (super fun for watching netflix!) and a full range of kitchen items, plus extra bedding.
Parking! Scott charges $20 extra on top of his nightly fee for parking. The pass is readily available when you arrive at the house and he was very gracious about our late booking.
Cleanliness: The bathrooms and the kitchen were spotless, which is always really nice. Similarly, the rest of the house was very well kept.
Cons:
Accessibility: **This location is NOT disability-friendly**. There are two very high, steep steps to get into the main level of the house, and a separate staircase going up to the 2nd floor (where the bedrooms and shower is) and another staircase going down to the basement. Additionally, the toilets are very, very high. This wasn't an issue for me, but anyone with mobility issues may wish to find a different spot.
Location: The neighborhood is obviously going through some beautification efforts, but the location is down a street that feels more like an alley and next to a run down, boarded-up warehouse. One bedroom window overlooks an abandoned lot complete with trash (and a super creepy doll). We wound up taking an Uber to locations after dark because of the many homeless people who had set up in the alley.
Access: Scott's house uses a digital Bluetooth lock that was really hit-or-miss for us. We were able to communicate with Scott and gain access to a physical key, but the lock jammed several times during our stay. It's a nifty feature to have access on my phone, but I would have been way more comfortable just having a simple lock that works.
Noise! As mentioned, the house is in a neighborhood that is growing and changing. However, there was construction that started really early in the morning and loud music that went late into the night.
To be clear, I recognize that most of these problems were not Scott's fault-- he was a great host, but there were some things that fell short for us in this situation. All in all, knowing everything I do about Scott's location, I would absolutely recommend this place and stay here again!
