Christian's place is in our son's neighborhood, so it was the perfect solution for us.
extraordinary value and spaciousness for the price. That said, here are the caveats to keep in mind:
- This is a multi-ethnic, working-class neighborhood. We enjoyed it.
- This is a basement apartment with minimal windows, low ceilings, etc
- There is no kitchen -- just a microwave, full-size fridge, Keurig -- but no kitchen sink
- People drive by playing loud music in their cars. You will find this festive or intrusive.
- The entrance involves a short set of very steep steps. If you have any mobility issues, this won't work at all.
- Christian went out of his way to provide amenities -- lots of coffees, teas, board games, shampoo, etc.
- To my understanding, this is the only Airbnb in the immediate area.
