Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
This is a "studio apartment" slapped together inside a guy's garage. Nothing in this place is level so it's very disorienting when you walk in. It's hot even with 2 window ac units. The shower is big enough to stand, not wash. I went elsewhere to shower. Not private at all with constant people coming in and out. Not at all what was advertised in the pictures. Very disappointing.
Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2026
