Sam/ Dawn were good hosts! They made sure that there were detailed instructions on how to self check in. For the most part, they were responsive to my enquiries and tried to do so in a timely manner. They even gave us a couple of recommendations. I felt that they were really accommodating and trying to see to it that we had a good stay.
Inside Sam's place was really nice-- as seen in the pictures. Everything was clean and the apartment is cozy. I stayed 4 nights and it was a pleasure to come in each night, after exploring the city, to jump in bed, and watch Netflix. We also really enjoyed the full kitchen as we stayed in and had breakfast before heading out.
There's also a supermarket and convenient store close by if you need anything. The bathroom was well equipped and we loved the body wash, shampoo dispenser. The furniture and the amenities adds the perfect touch and makes the place comfortable for all your needs.
It was in close access to the FQ, about a 15-20 minute walk and 6-8 minute ride via uber. Ubers were fairly cheap. Most trips were about $8-15 on average. We walked to the Jazz museum, there were also a couple of restaurants in the area.
The building is right outside a busy street and on the underpass of a freeway, so just be careful crossing the street and be aware of your surroundings. When we were getting dropped off our Uber driver made excessive remarks about the need for us to be safe in the neighborhood. That raised a bit of concern initially and I was extra alert throughout the trip. Nevertheless, I think once you are visiting a new place, one should always have just be mindful of the surroundings and so I did not allow this to ruin my experience. Once you get pass the door, you will feel like you are in a safe haven and again, the apartment is beautiful and cozy so you will feel right at home.
It was a lovely stay--I would definitely recommend and go back.
