Awesome studio apartment!
Felipe has managed to do something few do well: maximize the space of his studio apartment to make it feel far larger than it may actually be in square footage.
Felipe's studio is exactly as pictured - a bright, modern and beautifully decorated place that includes a Queen bed, dresser drawer, chaise, big HDTV w/ Xfinity cable, new washer and dryer neatly fitted into the very spacious bathroom, work desk, mini-dry erase and cork board by the front door, 4-seat kitchen table, and full kitchen (i.e., stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, Keurig coffee maker, & dishwasher). The kitchen includes ample dishes, cutlery, and tons of amenities that many hosts don't consistently provide (e.g., the snack box, tea, coffee, coffee creamer, sugar, spices, foil, plastic bags & food containers, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc.). Other things I love included keyless no-hassle entry, air conditioner (though we really didn't use it much during our stay), the darkening shades for the windows, two full size mirrors, numerous outlets to plug in devices, seamless WiFi, Amazon Alexa, books and magazines, and -last but not least - the sign above the kitchen sink that reads, "Do something you love today!"
No review would be complete without mentioning the overall ambiance of the place. My unit was located behind a very sturdy fence, protected by cameras, on a quiet block, in a nice building (that kinda stood out from many of the other properties on the block). Not only was there new patio furniture outside of my studio apartment, but there was also new patio furniture for common use near and around the pool. The lightening outside the building as well as the mini waterfall across from my door were also nice touches.
Lastly, Felipe was an excellent host! He was very responsive and it is clear that he cares about the property and his guests. There was a lot of care that went into making the studio as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Mission accomplished!
I highly recommend this studio apartment and host. Can't wait until I have a reason to visit again.
