Modern, good looking rooms. In residential area— no name on front door— more like rented rooms than hotel, but served our purpose very well.

From the posted pictures I had a preconceived idea of the space (thought there was use of a kitchen and living area space). There was a bedroom with desk and comfy chair, tv, microwave, and espresso coffee maker (they provided coffee pods). My own bathroom with shower sink and toilet. Friendly hosts. Responded to messages quickly. Some confusion over what I thought was a parking spot in driveway…sometimes I parked on the road. Overall it was a good spot to stay short term.

Disliked: Amenities
I booked a suite with ensuite and when I arrived the owner directed me to park on the road and said my room changed and told me to walk around the house to a side door. There was no path just wet grass and it was dark. When I entered I was told that my was just off the kitchen and that my bathroom was in the hallway. The door of my room was a French door made of glass squares with a blind taped over it which didn’t block out the light. This is someone’s house with children and a tv on the other side of the wall. Needless to say I was appalled at this setup since I travel regularly for my job have never experienced this before. At $160/night for 3 nights I expected more from this experience and left feeling completely ripped off. Do not stay here!!!!!
