I feel like a little bit more accurate review is needed. It’s a good deal for the price and location. The pictures are accurate. Be aware the bathroom is very very tight. Overall it’s clean enough. but not updated or maintained. It’s a tired space for sure. Parking was very easy. That was appreciated. On my last morning at 7am the host opened a door to the space at the top of some stairs and turned on the lights in the unit and started rummaging through items. I was asleep. I did not think or expect anyone in the space. Very very unsettling for sure and did not feel safe or secure

Cameron. I appreciate your response in general. The way you describe the place as being outdated or tired looking is the opposite of the pictures that you said show the place accurately. Guests have the option to see the pictures and judge for themselves. Guests all have repeatedly said they felt safe in the place inside or outside, sorry you felt that way. Good luck

Elizabeth was an absolutely wonderful and caring host!!! Communication was perfect. She goes above and beyond to make your stay a memorable one!! She was awesome!! Now, the place: 1) The neighborhood is beautiful and safe!! 2) Parking is free and unlimited, 3) 15 min walk to the metro, 4) full kitchen, 5) washer and drier. I didn't end up using all of these amenities, but it's great to have them should you need them. The bed is super comfortable and the WIFI works great!!!I can't wait to go back!!!!
