This place exceeded our expectations.
- Located in a very nice neighborhood, 2 blocks away from the neighborhood commercial street, where there’s a Trader Joe’s, coffee and bakery shops , restaurants and etc. It’s quiet at night. If you’re looking for a place walking distance to major tourist attractions, this is not the place. The neighborhood is on top of a pretty steep hill. It’ll be uncomfortable to walk up and down that part.
- The room is very clean and well decorated. The kitchenette is well equipped with a coffee maker, a kettle , kitchen utensils, microwave, and assorted teas. There’s bottled and filtered water in the fridge. The bathroom has all the essential toiletries, shampoo, bath soap, lotion, makeup wipe, etc. The shower has instant hot water( takes 5s or less ). There’s a extension cord, enough charging space for the electronics.
- the room is in a half basement. I think that’s one reason it stays cool most of the time (it’s not that hot when we were there, highest temperature is about 88F). There’s an electric heater. Not sure if there’s AC. But no fan.
- The host is a very good communicator. They give clear instructions on check-in and respond to questions promptly. During our stay, they gave us tips and info on local events that’s not easily found on a website, eg. a neighborhood farmer’s market.
This place is very good value. Both I and my boyfriend liked it a lot. Would recommend and visit again.
