Feel free to reach out to us during your stay – we’re happy to suggest local spots to check out.Room #1 is a simple, comfortable private bedroom in an older, lived-in home — perfect if you care more about price and location than luxury finishes. The room features a full-size futon bed, bedside table, reading lamp, and a small chair that can double as a laptop perch or spot to drop your bag.
There’s a window A/C unit to keep the space cool, plus blackout covering on the window for guests who like a darker room. Decor is minimal and functional rather than fancy, so think “clean crash pad” instead of boutique hotel.
The House
The room is inside a shared house with other long-term and short-term residents, so you’ll have privacy in your bedroom but share the common spaces.
You’ll have access to:
Shared bathroom(s)
Shared kitchen with basic cookware and space in the fridge/freezer
Cozy common area/living room with seating and TV
Wi-Fi for streaming, remote work, and staying connected
This is an older home with quirks and character: original wood floors, mismatched furniture, and a more boho/collected feel than a staged vacation rental. If you’re easygoing and don’t mind a place that feels lived in, you’ll be fine here. If you’re looking for pristine, hotel-style finishes, this probably isn’t your spot.
The Vibe
The house has a rooming-house feel: people are coming and going, cooking, heading to work, and living their lives. It’s a good fit for:
Budget travelers
Traveling workers / nurses / remote workers
Guests who just need a simple, private room to sleep and shower
Not suitable for parties or high-maintenance guests.
The Area
The home is in a residential neighborhood with a mix of older houses and locals who’ve lived in the area for years. You’re a short drive from restaurants, grocery stores, and everyday conveniences, and it’s easy to get to main roads for commuting or exploring the city.
Expect a local, laid-back feel rather than a tourist strip: corner stores, neighborhood spots, and real life happening around you.
