Cristobal is a super friendly guy and was very helpful with suggestions whenever we had questions. His place is very cute and had several thoughtful touches. The fridge was stocked with a shelf of complimentary bottled water (which came in handy in the heat) and condiments for guests to use. There was cereal, soup, and granola bars available for guests. He had a container of slippers by the front door for guests’ comfort. There were toiletries in the bathroom in case you forgot to bring your own.
We absolutely loved the neighborhood. Chris’ street in Boerum Hill is lovely and in walking distance to excellent restaurants and shops. The subway is just a short walk away.
The master bedroom was comfortable as was the bed. My daughter and I slept in there. The sofa bed was not as comfortable according to my husband but he made it work. Our only complaint was the space heaters/air conditioners. They didn’t do as good of a job as we had hoped keeping the place cool, and they were loud which made it hard to sleep. I thought there would be AC units in the windows which would have worked much better. I’m sure during cooler months this wouldn’t be an issue.
We would definitely stay at Chris’ place again in the fall, winter or spring, but probably not during the summer months unless AC units were installed. I should add that though we are originally from the east coast, we have lived in San Francisco for many years so we are now wimps when it comes to heat and humidity!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend Cristobal's place to a couple or small family.
