Alex is a great host, and communicates really well. Check in was incredibly easy and reliable for whenever I arrived. I loved all the local artist decor and the functionality of the space. I could easily walk a few blocks (less than 5 min) and find several great restaurants, coffee, and local shops. I felt safe in the area.
The studio is attached to the main house, but has a separate entrance and feels private. The bus stop was just a few feet away and offered a direct line into downtown - a 30 min bus ride for only $2.50. Uber/Lyft were also available. She also provides guest bikes, which I was sad I didn't get a chance to use during my short stay.
I highly recommend Alex's place!
