We loved this little house! It's definitely little, like an IKEA showroom. One can feel too cozy in a small house, but the ceilings are nice and tall so it wasn't an issue for us at all. The window A/C unit cooled off the entire house in a matter of minutes. We only got in each others' way when rushing to get ready each morning. Moving the small bedroom mirror to the kitchen gave us more make-up opportunities.
Check-in and check-out were a breeze. There's a Ring camera posted outside the front door for security, which, at first, made it feel a little awkward wondering who's watching, but it gives peace of mind as well. Nice feature.
We didn't cook anything beyond microwave popcorn or reheating Uber'd Chinese food, so we have nothing to say about the cookery. The spice supply is limited, which I only noticed while looking to see if by any chance there were left over soy sauce packets. There was an entire bottle in the cupboard! Yay! There were plenty of glasses, coffee cups, and silverware. There are only two small ice cube trays in the freezer, but I found that the freezer makes ice like nobody's business. It took no time at all to fill their biggest bowl with ice to last the whole week.
The bathtub is cozy-cozy. Water pressure isn't strong, but that may be due to WWM working on the system. There's no exhaust fan and the window doesn't open (or at least, I noticed the hinges were painted over so I didn't force it), so your shower is a steamy one, but everything is well within your reach. Nothing inconvenient. Extra toilet paper is located on the shelf by the basement stairs. Armed with this information, it's easy to grab a roll and tuck it on the shelf above the toilet. TONS of towels to use. The spares were in a basket in the big bedroom closet.
The basement is a perfect example of an old city house, but much cleaner and less dungeon'y than any I've seen.
Sleeping arrangements: I wouldn't maybe count the sofa bed as a bed, unless those sleeping there are short or young. It folds down like a futon, but it's in two pieces so the boards in between the pieces are unavoidable. My 18-year-old 5'9" son made it work, but if we stay again we'll bring an air bed for anyone in the living room.
The big bed has a lovely memory foam mattress that my two teenage girls raved about. I'm a heavier gal, so my gravity tended to assault the memory foam in a way that left my back in a shambles. I did much better in the twin bed. There are sweet little shelves on either side of the big bed. The one on the closet side held my drink, but it's loose so do be gentle. I brought a pot holder from the kitchen for a coaster.
This house was immaculately clean. Zero sign of any previously mentioned Jerry, even after a week of teenagers with popcorn and other snacks. We loved the mid-century modern decor which somehow didn't clash with the turn-of-the-century house. Minimal on the eyes.
PLEASE stay in this lovely old city house. Quiet neighborhood, close to the freeway, minutes from great neighborhood food and coffee, great host, affordable price.
