Sweet Little Spot to Stay.
Casual, Easy Place to Stay! Checked all the boxes. Walking distance to fun coffee shops and restaurants. The property manager Nico was terrific and on top of everything i'm checking to check out. Really easy and communicative all the way through, which we really appreciate. It's just a relaxing little spot. We will definitely come here again

Amazing location, parking struggles
This property is perfectly located! With no designated parking, parking close to the property was impossible at times! Clean inside and offered some kitchen essentials. Shower doors were unpleasantly loud when sliding open/closed. One window had broken blinds scotch taped together.

Easy to live in
The owner has fun decor yet has cleared space for guests. We are on a road trip so we came with more clothes than most there for a short stay. The laundry option requires quarters. I agree with another reviewer that the couch is a little more cushy than my preference but my husband loved it. There are two chairs I really did like though. I set up a little reading area with the bedroom chair which was nice when my husband was watching TV or napping on the couch. The tad lower neighborhood rating was due to parking availability but if you are flying in and walking/UBER then no worries.

North Park 1 bedroom
Basically a good stay. Parking was extremely difficult, and Neighborhood is quiet and fairly safe, although not particularly handsome. Communication with owner was minimal, but we had no problems
