This is one of the most well thought-out places I've stayed at! I've been to 30 countries and countless hostels, couchsurfs, and AirBnBs. Joe and Alex's place is comfortable and cozy, with many couches and pillows. They have Hulu and Netflix etc. provided on a big-screen TV for guests; soothing and friendly cats who love your petting attention; unlimited free breakfast (bacon and eggs to cook, and cereal/milk with oj); free fruit; well-stocked bathroom with hot showers that warmed me up quickly.

My room had a comfortable mattress on a large bed (queen), with well-thought out amenities (storage, hanging closet, fresh towels, two big pillows). Joe is communicative and responds to texts quickly. Easy to take a bus to the El. Overall one of the best places I've stayed at, and I would recommend it highly.

Joe and Alex clearly have put a lot of thought, and have accumulated a lot of experience, thinking through what makes an AirBnB stay great for guests. I believe hosts around the world can learn from Joe/Alex's excellent hospitality.
