Everything was perfect!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2025
Very comfortable and well appointed efficiency, with appliances to make simple meals. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Good size, securely fenced yard for dogs. Didn't make use of outside seating and grill, but would be great in warmer weather. Dedicated parking with unit is nice, although a bit tight/difficult to rurn around, or have to back out onto 8th ave. Good location, walkable to restarants and breweries. A longer walk to the heart of downtown, but doable. Good internet for remote work. Proactive and responsive host. Enjoyed the stay.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Mar 2025
The studio was fine. My friend had the bed, I had the pull out couch. Super hard to get out but figured it out. Really needed freezer space which wasn't freezing. We had a question about the parking and the host never got back to me. The sink in the bathroom was very uncomfortable to use; too high
