Our experience was perhaps an anomaly, but given the cost of the unit we left overall disappointed with our experience.
Pros:
Host: Kal is EXTREMELY responsive and quick to address any issues that arise. We had an issue with a contractor that came to work after the cleaners, who not only locked us out of the unit, but also left a mess downstairs since he arrived after the cleaners. But kal was quick to figure out a backup to let us in, and called the cleaners back
Location: on the west end of 6th street so plenty of bars and restaurants to walk to. Flagship Whole Foods is pretty much right next door. We didn’t notice any noise from the street during our stay, or neighbors.
Parking: there’s a spot to use. We didn’t have a car so we didn’t need it
Rooftop: there’s a nice little rooftop to enjoy if weather permits. More furniture or decoration would have really made this a good focal point for the condo.
Cons:
Space: the unit itself feels a lot smaller than the photos portray. I felt like I was in a small modest European style condo. There’s no room for any real furniture upstairs besides the bed. It wasn’t an issue, we just felt a little misled by the photos, especially considering we paid $450 a day after all was said and done. The furniture downstairs is also getting older and run down. The whole place could use some TLC with the exception of the upstairs bathroom, which seemed recently remodeled.
The AC unit upstairs was really loud when it kicked on in the middle of the night. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
The unit is also technically 1.5 bath. Only 1 full bath with shower upstairs. The other bathroom is downstairs. Not a huge deal unless you’re two couples traveling like we were, who decided to get an Airbnb so we wouldn’t have to share a bathroom in the first place.
Overall the place was fine, but disappointing given our hiccups upon arrival, when coupled with how much our group paid for the stay compared to the unit.
