The Hawthorne Blue Jewel is a comfy, accommodating little spot! Doug's daughter Gabi hosted me while he was out of town, and she was just as friendly and communicative as he was. There is a lot of pride and personal touches in the unit that make it very charming and homey. I worked from home a few days during my stay, so having amenities like a mini fridge, coffee pot, dinnerware, and WiFi were really helpful!
Keep in mind that this unit is in the basement of a home...there are times you can hear movement and conversations above you, and some areas have lower ceilings, so you may have some challenges if you're taller. The unit was very neat overall but there were a few dusty areas on the floors and shelves that could have been cleaner. I was happy to see an extra curtain provided for the bedroom window for privacy, but I would've liked one for the window in the main room as well (especially as a young woman traveling alone!) But these minor things aside, Doug and his family were wonderful hosts, and I enjoyed my stay overall!
