10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2025
Location was great. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of room to relax. The noise from the shop below was only heard in the main living space and not in the bedrooms. Very convenient to grab morning coffee and breakfast from the shop downstairs.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2025
The Good: place was clean and it was fantastic being on the mall. The full-sized washer/dryer was great and we used it twice during our stay. The kitchen was mostly well stocked, although a baking sheet would be great and the bathrooms were clean with really nice showers. Things to consider: take the host description seriously. This is an urban setting. This means some homeless people on the mall, although they never bothered us, it was something to be aware of. Also, there is urban noise. Most definitely from the coffee shop, starting at 6am, but also leaf blowers at 6am for up to 15 minutes and car motors at 3am etc. if urban noises don’t bother you, this is your place, but if you are sensitive to noise, maybe look elsewhere. We slept with earplugs but that only helped a little. Also, I think the host would do well to replace the sheets. They were clean, but felt “tired” and worn.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2025
Delightful flat! Very comfy bedrooms, clean everything, in the thick of it, surrounded by restaurants, bars, shops & open air market on the weekend. Couple things to be aware of - 1. No parking with this rental, no a huge deal but the garage is around the corner so it doesn’t make luggage super fun. 2. You can hear everything in the coffee shop below. 3. There are a lot of homeless people that sleep in the area. 4. The door has a large glass section & doesn’t fell very secure BUT the area is under CCTV surveillance & advertises as such. Overall, GREAT rental, cool area!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Mar 2024
We really enjoyed the space and the location is so great, however as others have mentioned before the music from the coffee shop is loud and we wouldn’t mind it so much except it starts extremely early. We also experienced a situation where we had to call the police twice because there were homeless people outside being very loud and threatening and the door is made up mostly of glass and we felt unsafe.
