Nicki & Tamar seemed really sweet online - and I hate to write a bad review, but their place is just okay. This place is perfect for a solo traveler in their early 20s, but that's it.
Downside:
The description says 7 minute walk to downtown, it is really a 17 minute walk and to get there you have to pass by 3 big homeless encampments which felt extremely dangerous.
We had to ask for the wifi password
TV didn't work
We didn't have control of the heater (being from LA we were really cold)
They make you pay in advance, which is non refundable - only after you pay do you receive a list of "house rules" such as quiet hours, no shoes and no use of the kitchen
Last, there were a few hairs in the shower when we arrived, and there was an unused tampon on top of the toilet? Which makes me believe they came into our room when we were there....
Anyway, they seem really sweet online but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who is used to a more comfortable experience. This place is good for a no-frills, flexible person in their 20s.
