Jason really came through on this one; quick responses, good info, and suave hosting skills. This is actually a review for his Hip Eastside Condo because the night before we were to arrive at the SoCo Loft, a burst pipe did a bit of water damage.

Got a call from Jason with the situation rundown and an offer to stay at his Eastside condo, a little flurry of emails with the new details (half our party was already on a plane), and everything is set. Not really sure what would have happened had that not been available, but Jason was on point this time, so presume he'd TCB.

The Eastside condo seems like it's in an up-and-coming neighborhood with lots of new condos and single family homes getting work done. Didn't hear or see anyone else in the complex, but the cars shuffled around in the parking lot every day. It's really close to the SoCo strip, kinda wish we had bicycles. There's a little shopping center just down the street for quick bites and whatnot. If you're coming from the airport, the closest 100 bus stop is a quick 7min walk from the condo.

The kitchen is all ready to go, some food stuffs in the pantry ready to cook. Living/dining room is comfy enough. The bathroom is just fine, stocked with the basics and sunscreen(!), but the shower has one of those drown-you-in-a-waterfall type shower-heads that look good in commercials, but are actually kinda weird.

Main bedroom has a big comfy bed and porch. Upstairs are two single beds on the floor, possibly due to the roof cramping the ceiling height, but they're surprisingly comfortable. You do have to walk up a super tight winding staircase to get into the loft area; a possibly vertigo-inducing descent follows, not sure I really want to attempt that in a drunken stupor in the middle of the night.
