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.

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.
