The Birdhouse was a great value! Funky clever decorations throughout. Bed was comfy in the "green key room" with green chair. Shared bathroom was not problem, bathroom was clean, I was a solo traveler on vacation at this place for 2 days. It is very close to downtown and the cliff walk, and a beach. Host recommend CRU for breakfast at 1 Casino Terrace, nearby shopping center, it was fantastic, love the food, prices, and vibe. Host had snacks downstairs at the kitchen area, many, many snacks and fruit. Old house with a lot of charm, floors and stairs creak via the hardwoods, so I tried to walk softly like a Ninja. Plenty of free parking. Red Parrot restaurant was another suggestion by host, I went for dinner and it did not disappoint, laid back but busy restaurant with so, so many choices. So much was in walking distance of this place. Search around, you can't beat the price at the Birdhouse! Like the host says, you get a great price in an old house, so don't expect the Hyatt. Plenty of hot water during showers. Safe neighborhood. Wish I had a chance to use the free bicycles during my stay. Nice host who aims to please!
