It’s a very spacious and relatively quiet place to stay at. In a neighborhood in the other side of town. The TV apps are reliable for a quiet stay after a long day out and the spacing is solid for a good group of people. The issues I found were, be careful with leaving your accounts on certain apps (noticed this with Netflix and YouTube). Kitchenette is decent for small trips but not long ones to stock it. Noticed the TV controllers had dead batteries as well as each TV other than the main one not having a working firestick. The Queen Bed was comfortable along with the couch but the king bed was a bit rickety loose. The service in general though was solid and gracious at the very least. And location can be a bit sparse. Which could be a dealbreaker for future visitors looking to get things conveniently. A good place to stay away from the busy city center, and hopefully those issues can be corrected for the next visitors.

Our host was so kind and very reasonable! The listing makes it sound quite strict, but I will say if you are a traveler who respects the spaces you stay in they are not strict at all! Basic human decency is all they ask so if you can't do that maybe not the place for you, but if you can do that this is a fabulous place to stay! The space is so big and such a great price in such a great area. The hosts are there if you need anything at all and even gave a lot of local recommendations which was so nice! We were there on a work trip and so it was nice to not have to do a ton of research to figure out where we should go for meals and what not. The train is so close by and none of the ubers we paid for to get downtown were very expensive which is so nice. The beds were very comfortable and the space was just delightful. Thank you for letting us stay! :)
