#### Smaller than it looks
Cozy home but realized it was much smaller than appears online photos . There is no kitchen counter and had trouble prepping food. If you don’t mind having limited space than this place is perfect for you. Host was good at responding. Neighborhood looks a bit sketchy with homeless people walking around (downtown area) but location is close to most common attractions. I wouldn’t recommend this is for families.
