Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at the Little Gem!! Our hosts kept contact before we arrived and we met them briefly at our check in. We anticipated leaving our bags for a little bit while the apartment was turned over from the prior guests, but we were able to enter the apartment as soon as we arrived!
The space is as depicted in the photos - small but just enough for two people. The bed was comfy and we had access to all amenities of a small apartment - we liked being able to prepare a quick breakfast before heading out for the day. I loved that they left some water bottles in the fridge for us! They came in handy throughout our stay.
As they mention in the description, the dog does bark but I sleep with ear plugs so it wasn't an issue for me. My partner did get woken by the dog occasionally. The natural light in the unit is sparse - and the mirror in the sink area didn't have the best lighting to put on makeup for the day/night. Another little thing was that because it's a standing shower unit and there is no shelf/seat, it was almost impossible to shave your legs in the shower and you have to have some long legs to swing them up to the sink!
We did love coming back to the Little Gem after our days of exploring the city to relax. It is so close to everything and we walked almost everywhere. We also felt very safe on the street where the apartment was located! We give the Little Gem an enthusiast recommendation to anyone who is considering staying here!
