A superb stay. This home is a bohemian paradise with local art covering the walls, bookshelves of art tomes in the room and old exposed brick lining the halls. The home is old and eclectic which is part of the charm.
Chip and his family are a delight and wonderfully welcoming. They respond positively and accommodated all my requests
My favorite thing about the home is how quiet it is. Some single-rooms in the city are noisy and chaotic. The minute you step into this unit you get stability and calm.
There are several other guests living here. Some are long term. Everyone was very friendly and considerate. You are sharing the bathrooms and shower with many people but I was pleased how well it functioned. It’s hard to believe their are multiple tenants considering how calm and quiet it is.
The only thing I didn’t love were the door closures. The front door is never locked and the bathrooms only close with lightweight hooks. Their family has lived their for decades and have never had a problem. I love that. And to be clear, I had no problems during this stay. My discomfort is that in other cities, with other renters, I’ve had unsafe experiences that have left me with anxiety. If you have a safety/security anxiety, this is something you’ll want to know before your visit. It was the initial period before I trusted my surroundings that was uncomfortable. That being said, after living there for two months and experiencing the neighbors in the unit and building, I would be comfortable (and happy) going back.
They are certainly at super host level.
