I wondered when I booked this how people could have such differing views and once I was there I realized... the spot is great for the neighborhood, which is middle class, not fancy.
If you are expecting the ritz, well it’s going to disappoint, but if you are looking for big beds and casual living just relax and be. Lots of towels, decent kitchen basics (dolla sto, but hey) and a Mezuzah on the door so come on how bad can it be.
Think hostel not hotel and staying with your great aunt not with your hipster friends uptown.
It actually caused a real class war between me and my partner. He’s local and it was what he expected. I do a lot of high end travel and I could see why people gave poor reviews.
Many air bnbs toss previous food, this one left it, which was nice but I realize why the higher end spots toss everything.
The space doesn’t get aired enough and is a wall unit air conditioner (blows right on you in the bed/sofa) so I got stuffy there but I could have opened the windows I was just not focused.
Yeah and the king bed is where you’d expect a living room sofa so, be aware of that.
All in all it was a great bargain, but I spent the extra to stay at a place with a hefty cleaning fee and immaculate separate rooms for my next stay.
