This is it, Chief! Tao’s place is at the epicenter of an amazing neighborhood. Bars, restaurants, and boutiques galore. Don’t let the solid social scene fool you into thinking that parking is bad either. Most I had to walk was like half a block. The entrance is located in the alley so by default you will have to walk a bit from your car to the door, but it was a non-issue. In fact, you should walk... walk to all the things to do around there.
The inside was super cozy in feel, although it took me a full day to figure out the lights and the heater. And by cozy I also mean you’d be a bit crowded to try to fit more than two people here, although the massive windows/screen door and views really make it feel larger than it is. I personally found this fact romantic.
The bed is surprisingly comfortable and warm. The bathroom is pristine, which can also be said about the kitchen. Lots of cool little amenities like Shea Moisture lotion and even the good tp, which was greatly appreciated.
Overall, it was a solid place and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. The only minor issue I had was that the WiFi was spotty at best and non existent at times. It wasn’t nearly enough to ruin the experience, but it was enough to be noted in a world that demands connectivity.
Side note: I left in a rush to catch a 5am flight. Learn the light switches so you don’t end up running up and down the stairs at 3am and subsequently just leave them on like I did. I personally always like to leave the places I stay at as I found them, but this time I may have left some leftovers in the fridge and a couple mini soaps in the shower.
