Rj's place exceeded our expectations. It was our first time staying in a space that was considered renting a room only. But the space felt very private and safe. We had our own entrance to our loft and we didn't feel like we were bothering RJ and his dog Duncan. There is a keyless entry which he customizes to you so you won't forget. Rj recommended places for us to eat and had attractions on the paper he printed for us. Upon check in, there was a paper with lots of info and even had our name on it! It was the little things like that, that made us feel welcome. He even read my Airbnb profile to get to know me. He knew that I liked spicy food! I was completely blown when he mentioned that.
The space was very clean. Has all the kitchen utensils you may need for you stay. We used the microwave a lot for our left over food. We stayed for about 6 days. A car rental is needed if you are adventuring in multiple places, but we ubered around for 2 days and fare wasn't that expensive to and from downtown area. About $12-$14 each way. (So if you plan on drinking for the night etc) Some nights we came home late from exploring multiple breweries and not once did we feel like we were bothering anyone when we came home late. A couple of days rained and he offered us raincoats to use. He was very generous.
There is coffee beans, a grinder and a french presser in the unit and it was good a$$ coffee. He has Trader Joe products in the bathroom and we hardly used our toiletries we packed. He even had Q tips! Everyone forgets their Qtips! Wifi worked seamlessly. Only used for social media etc. I can't account it for doing other work. There is no TV in the unit, but we didn't feel the need for one because we were always out for the day and too tired at night from our adventures. I did bring my small Bluetooth speaker and it helped fill the void of white noise at night. I'm a city girl and need some sounds to help me sleep. So if you're like me, when quiet is too quiet I suggest bringing a small speaker.
The bed was comfortable. We used the big toss pillows from the couch to raise up our pillows up when we wanted to sit up on the bed. Pillows and sheets were comfy. No complaints. There is a heater in the unit that heats up fast and comfortable. RJ turned it on upon arrival so it was nice and cozy when we checked in.
Check out was a breeze. Left keys where they were when we checked in and I texted him. My husband and I will definitely stay here again on our next visit. Thank you RJ and Duncan!
