The host at this unique place is awesome. Nick let us both check in early and stay late when the weather took a turn on the day we were leaving. He had local recs for us, including a great dog park down the street for our pup.
Shared areas were clean and accessible. Our room was spotless if a little stuffy at first. The first few days were a little warmer than expected, and I assume why AC units had been removed by the time of our visit. We had a little fan that we ran throughout the night for some white noise and air flow; the street outside can get noisy, as you’re within walking distance of all the action of Federal Hill.
That all said, it’s a hostel. The host can’t control everything, and how well you sleep really depends on others staying there at the same time. We had guests above us who were both night owls and early birds, so it was just hard to get decent sleep our five nights there, something we both need as we work from the road!
