Pros: this spot was cozy and secure, in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to so many cute coffee shops and parks, only 15 minutes away from downtown. Check in was easy, and the coffee, lone star, and topo Chico in the kitchen area were a nice touch!
Cons: There were a good number of fly and small spider roommates I shared the space with...probably to be expected in a place with not much insulation, but if you have a spider phobia I would maybe go elsewhere. There are two windows that cannot be fully closed…one that faces the neighbor’s backyard that has blinds that are blocked from going more than halfway down by a shelf, and one that faces the host family’s yard that has no blinds at all. That one is the most concerning since it's directly in front of the shower, and there's no real way to avoid standing in front of it undressed if you want to use the shower. I have no reason to believe I was unsafe at any point, but as a woman traveling alone, those are some of the small details that can determine how fully you get to relax. Would really have appreciated a curtain of some sort on that shower window. I usually sleep great on pull out beds but this one was homemade and the sections would slide apart as you moved. The AC turned on and off incessantly due to it being such a small space which also made falling asleep a little difficult. The wifi was SUPER slow, which was a hassle for someone who was hoping to get some work done while on the road!
Overall, it was a fine space to crash for the night and I appreciated its location, but I'm not sure I'd stay here again!
