This place was perfect! It seems a little unusual at first because it’s like a remodeled barn/shed in someone’s backyard. But literally loved it.
I stayed with a close friend and we met up with people on Broadway. We were about 15 mins (depending on time of day) from the heart of Broadway. The only thing that I found slightly inconvenient was that the Lyft/Uber drivers were not usually under 7-9 mins from where we were and sometimes the whole trip would end up being like 20 mins with bad weather/traffic/ roads blocked off near Broadway. But honestly, for the price, free parking, and perfect crash pad it was not an issue. It was fine once we planned for it. Never had a ride cancelled and prices were not too bad.
I never saw the owner but we could tell there was light coming from the main house. But they had curtains and you could not see inside their house (which I loved). It felt private and secure. We would come home late and just try to be a little quiet. No issues. The neighborhood seemed fine and safe. My car was fine in the driveway. The owner never had a car in the driveway.
There were some really nice touches. Loved the decor, open space, and almost “tiny house” vibe. The loft was cool and even though it was cold sometimes on the first floor (heater was available though) it was a perfect temperature with the heater they had up there. The bed is a big memory foam one. So comfortable…we slept like babies. It was nice to have the sink outside the bathroom too for makeup.
Some stuff to keep in mind: You should probably stay with someone you aren’t afraid to change around, there are no enclosed rooms except the bathroom (which only has the toilet in it). It was not a problem for my friend or myself. It is not in the city center, but it’s honestly not far. I wouldn’t be afraid of heights or have any trouble navigating stairs and an angled ceiling. But again, we loved the loft feel. And there were many signs to remind you to not stand up in certain areas that you hardly even went near. I never hit my head or anything.
Overall, highly recommend. Excellent weekend crash pad for country vibe lovers.
