Raquel + Jacob have this rental down to a science (I'm not even sure Raquel + Jacob are real, or it's just a front to make you feel like you're renting from a nice stock-photo-esque couple). You'll get what I perceive are automated messages as your arrival approaches with instructions for checking in, a PDF manual for the place, and some more automated messages as you stay at the place. The messages make you think they are well prepared and super attentive hosts. And they are definitely well prepared. But upon my arrival the toilet seemed like it was clogged? although I think it's just a low/weak flush (like I needed the plunger every time I flushed, just to get the water to go down). In any case, I sent them a message to clarify, and I continued to receive a couple of their friendly automated messages welcoming my arrival, but only an actual real response to the toilet question the next day, after I had already left.

I'm 6'1" and skinny, but the shower was still a pretty tight fit.

The windows are old and they let ALL the noise in from the street - sirens, garbage trucks, etc. But the place is a couple blocks off the main busiest streets, so there's not a lot of noise from late night partiers. Still, I didn't sleep well.

Even so, it looks like someone put a lot of work into remodeling this place. It's old craftsmen style, just like the pictures. But the building still feels old.

I'm a pretty laid back guy, was there by myself for 1 day, 2 nights, on a quick in-and-out business trip. The place was fine. But I wouldn't take my wife here.
