Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Chill, comfortable place This was a really nice place to spend a night. It was comfortable, the AC was awesome, it’s conveniently located near a store and a pizza place, and the neighbors were generally friendly and chill people. Host was very helpful and easy to reach when needed, and I really appreciated that. No complaints here, would definitely recommend for a small group or a solo traveler ##### Nathaniel W.

May 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Close Uber or bike ride to downtown Super simple ##### Jack F. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### C P. Sep 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location The place was clean and in a pretty good location. There is no where to sit in the room except for the beds. The Internet is spotty at best so if you need to work during your stay, bring your own hot spot. The poor internet also makes watching television a crap shoot. The road noise is pretty loud too so we just ran the fan on the AC to drown it out during the night. The area itself is a great place to visit so if you’re just planning on not doing anything but sleep here it’s great! Communication with the host is really good though. They are very responsive. ##### C P.
