We stayed two nights with our 9 & 11 year old kids.
Pros:
-very clean
-fantastic interior design. Very stylish
-walking distance to lots of bars and restaurants and the Hercules area.
-friendly helpful host
Cons:
- no easy parking. Prepare to drive searching and praying and fitting into a space very small.
- extremely low ceiling in the bedrooms. We stayed in the open room and our kids stayed in the interior room. There is a small bathroom upstairs between them. I am 5’8” and my husband is 6’. He nearly knocked himself out both mornings getting out of bed and had huge lumps. I cracked my head very hard in the night going from my room to the children’s room and also got a huge bump. There are places that the ceiling is very low and although the shower upstairs was cool for the kids- our heads were touching the ceiling.
- lots of noise from the street and other apartments (we could hear people both walking the streets and corridors and it sounded as if they were in our room.)
- the air con in the main room is downstairs, but the bedroom is an open loft- heat rises, so no matter how cold it got downstairs we were still very hot in bed at night (but the other bedroom stayed quite cool).
Bottom line. Very clean and cool looking. Fun walking zone. I would definitely stay in one of the hosts other apartments as we found them fun- but I wouldn’t stay in this unit again due to the low ceilings and our inability to remember to duck!
