Andie is a great and communicative host. Her place feels nice and recently renovated. However, we were disappointed with the usability compared to some other stays and despite its small size:
- there isn’t really a counter space of any kind, so bringing food in feels like you can pretty much only eat outside or on the bed. It’s unclear to me where to put the coffee maker other than on the floor.
- the outlets in the bathroom don’t work, so that isn’t an option for the coffee maker. It’s also generally hard to find good places to plug things in.
- the tv is tiny compared to what we’re used to… my laptop screen is bigger! Considering how inexpensive large TVs are now we were disappointed by this.
- there is one small trash can other than the bathroom one. Makes it really difficult to dispose of food waste for a several night stay, especially considering the space has a refrigerator.
Overall it’s a good and solid spot, but we were a disappointed overall and by the usability of the space. I think these things are all addressable, they just require trying to live out of the space for a few days to get a sense of the limitations.
