The space is gorgeous and probably even better than the pics. Yoko, Gregor and their two cats, Sunny and Yuzu were fantastic hosts! Originally I was hesitant about staying due to my allergy of dogs carrying over to the cats but I had no issues here. An air purifier was even provided for use in my room.
By the way, their cats are VERY friendly so they're very fun to be around - I couldn't get enough of them. Sunny was bottled fed, so he's very used to being around people and is also low-key famous (he became the face of his adoption agency as a kitten <3). Yuzu, on the other hand is a total mischievous, yet lovable cat that's always looking for you to pet her or pick her up and she also loves to run out around the apartment so don't get alarmed if she suddenly dashes out when you open the door - just prop it open and she'll come back.
They were very thoughtful about allocating space for their guests - there was an allocated space in the bathroom drawer and towel rack, fridge as well as the closet for guests to store their belongings which was a delightful surprise as this was the first time I've booked a private room vs an entire apartment space. There are plenty of hanger space for clothes and the bed was high enough that you can store your luggage beneath the bed during your stay.
The room was spacious and had a desk for work. They've also provided a laundry bag with all the essentials to take with you to the laundry room to use upstairs. Per the pictures, the room doesn't have any windows which may be a double-ended sword for some - I love sleeping a pitch black room so it's perfect but at the same time sometimes I worry I'll forget it's morning without a window to look out, though I tend to set an alarm.
Additional shared spaces were the dining room which was rarely or never used, guest area right next to the door to hang out and a lovely kitchen. I loved the wood theme throughout the space, it was consistent and beautiful.
I have a tendency to keep to myself and both Yoko and Gregor respected that and if something needed to be communicated, they'd reach out via the messenger on Airbnb which was helpful! They've also provided a list of local places to eat, one of which I went to and feel like I had to go back the following day.
I'm super thankful for their hospitality and will totally have this space at the top of my list on my next visit!
