My stay here was wonderful and exactly what I hoped for when I booked. I came for a self-guided meditation and writing retreat and mainly needed a place to myself where I could relax and go for walks in nearby parks (Rose Garden and Rosicrucian Park). I also appreciated being near good places to grab food and there were many that delivered to the area.
One thing anyone should know coming to stay here is that the walls are not thick and don't have much (any?) insulation, which means you will hear everything going on outside. Since the place is street level and right on the street, that means people walking by, annoyingly loud cars, etc. Plus, the people who live next door have dogs that bark.
This is not a deal breaker at all -- it's life in a city. The street is generally quiet. Just know that fact. When I needed to block out noise, a good pair of headphones solved the issue.
Other than that, the area is safe, the space comfortable, and I would stay again!
