Nice, basic place. It was hot though and we couldn’t figure out if there was air conditioning or how to make it work. Stairs were a little tricky, but we knew that going in so was good!

The shower door was off of the roller hinges. Serious risk to fall and break. Top floor room had a nice view of downtown. Very serious stairs. Don’t do this place if steep stairs are an issue.

Clean and very comfortable! Very walkable to our concert venue and a bunch of restaurants/pretty neighborhoods to walk around! Felt very safe and secluded. Parking was available for a fee and it was a great parking spot, very close to the stay! Would stay here again.

Rooms were nice but no TV was a bit of a surprise. Stairs to rooms were steep! and a bit scary if I'm being honest. Communication was a bit strained between myself and the hotel.

The property was in a decent location and was clean and nice enough. Overall, it wasn’t a bad stay, but I’ve given it a 3/5 because there was some sort of fragrance or air freshener that was used and was so strong it gave me a headache and caused my eyes to burn. I had to open a window (and it’s currently winter). Otherwise, the pillows on the bed were fabulous.

Not the place if you need comfort
This is an inn without staff on site. There are two major issues: the shower water was boiling hot! The water was so hot that I couldn't shower without getting burned. The second issue is the alarm went off throughout the nights, so obviously, I couldn't get one good night's sleep. I was there for business, so basically, I just needed a place to shower and sleep. This inn failed on both. Overall, I will not recommend it to anyone.

This kind of takes contract free interaction to a whole new level. I was texted the door code and room number and never interacted with a single person. I prefer this method but understand it may not be for everyone. The property also has a few flights of stairs to get to your room, not sure what the accessibility options are but if someone needs those they should definitely confirm what they are before booking.

Pros: Good location, close to many restaurants. Like the access my room had to a covered balcony with a little table & chair, and the outside backyard area. Room was clean and mostly quiet. Had lots of outlets which was wonderful. Good mirrors, including full length in room, large in bathroom, and a magnifying one. Neutral: It's an air B&B no frills room (e.g.: no TV), no visible on-site staff, and texts take a bit to respond to, but within 20 minutes (just feels longer when you are in the rain). A few of the plug ins blinked lights which was startling in the dark. No closet, but did include coat hooks and a few hangers. Cons: The stairs are those small twisty antique stairs from period dramas that turn tightly into the landing - difficult to navigate and practically impossible to do so if you are older and carrying significant luggage. The shower door didn't particularly want to slide open.

WARNING: Please please read the 1 star review before booking. There is no one on premises to speak with, all communications are AI generated. When we arrived to the building, our room was still dirty upon check in: dirty towels on bathroom floor, bedsheets we're still dirty from the last occupant... ok, we understand that happens. When we text the number to see what was going on we received AI responses and waited in the dirty for room for 30 minutes with no actions from the owner. It took us becoming frustrated and asking "what the hell is going on?" to finally receive a phone call from the owner, Simon. In an effort to displace blame, Simon yelled at us, said that we booked too late in the day, no one is around to clean the room, and said "I want you to leave" falsely claiming we went from "0 to 100" upon receiving his phone call, saying that we had raised our voices and swore at him. These accusations were not only false but an obvious effort to not take responsibility for the room not being ready at 6:30 pm when the previous guests check out was at 11:00 am. He told us we booked to late in the day (3pm) but 3hrs before we checked in, the room still wasn't clean. We were treated terribly... were told we would be refunded, but have received nothing yet.

Room had everything I would expect from a normal hotel. Spacious bed room and a well furnished room overall. Bed was comfortable. A/C did its thing. Even turned on the heat in the morning because temperatures dip to 50’s this time of year and that worked well too. Plenty of lighting and outlets. Bathroom sink was a bit more modern than I’d like leaning toward being slightly less functional and more design oriented. But can’t blame them for trying to be fashionable. Shower was warm with good water pressure too. Basically didn’t really notice that it was an Air B&B except for the missing staff but whatever help I needed I was able to get within minutes by texting their number. Overall a great first experience with an Air B&B.
