the area is nice, across from a great park with a couple of restaurants nearby including the Westside diner. But the place itself is a little weird is and very spare and spartan. The bedroom without a/c is unusable when it's hot outside since there is no way that the a/c in the living area can cool it. It was in the 90s when I visited and this place is a retrofitted attic so the heat was pretty unbearable. I spent one night in the bedroom with the window opened as far is it could go (just an inch) but ended up blowing up the air mattress and sleeping in the living area for the rest of my stay. Thank goodness for the air mattress!! I'm ok with "roughing it" but that wasn't my expectation for this trip. I might have felt differently if I had visited during another time of the year because the lack of a/c was such a problem but I was honestly disappointed. This is a good option for college students, and others looking for the very basics.
