Pros:
- Great location; we walked to most areas we wanted to get to fairly easily. Plenty of bars, restaurants, etc. nearby. Can easily catch an uber/lyft if going a bit further.
- Awesome communication with the hosts; checked in on us multiple times and answered any questions we had quickly (such as when we were trying to figure out where to park)
- Studio/bedroom area is nicely laid out; plenty of room for our luggage/stuff
Cons:
- The mattress was not comfy on my old (feeling) body. It felt rock hard and seemed to slant toward the middle (I felt like it was forcing me toward the middle, which isn't great when sharing with someone else).
- The bed squeaks, bad. If you move at all, it makes noise. Slightly annoying when trying to sleep and not wanting to wake others up.
- We couldn't get some of the technology to work. By this I mean the TV only seemed to work for streaming apps with require login. That's fine and all, but I was hoping for live TV just to watch some Olympics on while in bed at night. We also couldn't get the bedside lamp to work. Neither of these were a big deal to us, but worth mentioning I think.
I won't include it in the cons since it was well advertised, but to emphasize what others have said, the bathroom is definitely tiny. Tiny to the point that you could take one step from the toilet to be in the shower. It definitely caught me a little by surprise, but we made it work.
We didn't have any issues with the noise that others have mentioned. Yes, it's on a busier street, but I never really noticed that. We generally only slept in the room and spent the days out and about, so perhaps that is why. But no issue here. There were earplugs provided for those that the sound may bother. I did hear folks going up and down the stairs a time or two, but that's not something I'm surprised by in a multi-unit building.
Overall, pretty good stay if you're just looking for somewhere to lay your head at night after exploring. If you're looking for somewhere to spend a decent amount of time in, somewhere more spacious might do you well.
