Dianne was a great host!

This was a private room with a separate entrance. By the way, this needs to be a selection/filter option on Air BNB, as there can be Private Rooms (with access through main house, i.e. host interaction) or Private Rooms (with completely separate access, i.e., no host interaction necessary). These two are the "same" selection, but very different, as a lot of you seasoned Air BNB users may know. A lot of times, I prefer complete privacy, and opt for "Entire Home" because of this, but now I add in "Private Room" and read thoroughly on descriptions/reviews to make sure there's a private entrance. To me, nothing worse than coming and going, only to be walking through someones living room, or private space as they're sitting there with their family, or walking through their kitchen as their cooking, etc. This can be a little awkward as you can imagine, and just inconvenient. If you're okay that arrangement, more power to you!

Anyways! This is a great listing. The shower handle can use a little work, but overall, if you want privacy and a great location -- this is it. As a lot of reviews suggest, this is definitely just a couple blocks from SC's downtown main street of Pacific Ave! For the most part, you never really have to navigate too far from here, as there's something for everyone on this main street. As a host, Dianne was great too. Gave me complete privacy, but was always very responsive whenever I needed anything, via text. And yes, the loft area is a little tricky as well, and taller people will find it a little cumbersome, but for a one night stay, this really isn't a big deal at all, and kind of fun!

Overall, if you're traveling alone, I'd definitely recommend. More than 1-2 people though may be a little too cozy. But it really is a great value for the location, so keep that in mind!
