Nice location, perfect for our stay

The location is great! Close to the sculpture park downtown and lots of places you can walk to. We didn't spend a lot of time in the room, other than to sleep. Simple amenities were perfect for us.

Great stay!

So glad we found this place! We needed a place to stay for 9 days between an alumni reunion and a family wedding and hotel prices were prohibitive. This roomy efficiency was perfect for our stay in a great location at a great price that saved us a lot of cash, making the trip possible. But, what may have made the stay best were the rapid, friendly, and helpful responses I always got from the host whenever I had a question or needed assistance. I'll definitely stay here next time. P. S. The bed is REALLY comfortable! Thanks for everything. This

Film yourself locking the keys up

The place was fine and directions to get in were good, but it uses physical keys. At the end of my stay I locked up and put the keys where I was told. I then got messages from the property manager saying the cleaners could not get to the keys. Film yourself locking them up, I was not happy with how they tried to pretend I lost them.
