Check in was seamless! The place is a bit hard to get to without understanding the side streets. This explanation of how to get to the parking space would be good to have in advance. For the price, it's hard to beat. We ended up asking for another box fan to beat the heat and the host sent them over right away! We also asked for a better shower head to install and it was also promptly provided. Couple things to note, one of which others have mentioned before: Lack of exhaust fans in the kitchen makes it hard to cook anything that is too smokey and the water pressure is really weak which maybe a California ordinance that can't be changed. Definitely a good place in cooler weather, but pretty rough in the summer if you're used to cooler climates. Overall I find it good for short stays and a safe place to sleep.
