It's an old establishment, but the staff are very sweet & do their best to make it homey. It's nice congregating around the kitchen bench or seeing what people cook. They have clean bed linen & towels readily available. They try to keep the restrooms & discolored shower tubs clean daily. Some of the wood flooring creaks on the walk upstairs, but I haven't heard it when I'm actually asleep in the closed room.. just something to consider for your roomies who don't bring earplugs because there's milder-creaking in the dorms; I bring inhouse flipflops so I don't mind flooring. Outdoors, they have a colorful mural on the side along the driveway leading to 5 parking spots in the back. I love the orange poppy cluster growing on the sidewalk of the nextdoor, small education center. I like walking down the sidewalk, lined with artist stores, cafes & other dining, a book store, a church where the same man sits at the stoop, etc. There's a nearby intersection with a gas station, & a couple blocks away, there's Publix grocery; I don't know what's a short* walk to others, but Publix & these other shops are, to me, walkable* & basically accessible for anyone without a car at BPS. Downtown is East of it & may be visited by car.
