    Nothing Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this accommodation, especially for women traveling alone. The overall setup made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe during my stay. There is no electrical outlet in the bathroom, and the bathroom itself has a frosted glass door, which provides very little privacy. In general, there is almost no privacy in the accommodation. Curtains are not provided, and we were not allowed to hang towels in front of the beds, meaning there was no way to create any privacy while sleeping. The towels were dirty, and I also developed a rash that I believe was caused by the bedding. The sleeping area is located directly next to the entrance from the street, so you essentially enter the building and are immediately next to the first bed. Security was another major concern. The door did not feel properly secured, and it was sometimes left open. People regularly walked through our room to access other units. The reception area was also located directly inside the bedroom, so everything was essentially open and combined in one small space. This made me feel particularly uncomfortable, especially because men were regularly staying or passing through the accommodation, and there seemed to be mostly older men around. The kitchen utensils were dirty, and there was very little storage space. One locker had to be shared by two people. The accommodation was also very noisy at night and remained bright, which made it difficult to sleep. Finally, I did not feel comfortable with the surrounding area, which felt unsafe, particularly at night. Overall, the accommodation lacks basic privacy, cleanliness, security, and comfort. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this place, particularly to women.

    very cozy

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This place is amazing! All around good vibes, so don't believe any of the bad reviews you see on this place. I was the one who had a little bit too much to drink that night and unfortunately I thought I was already in my long-term Airbnb. I was blocked out drunk and I walked around naked when I wasn't supposed to. I take full responsib.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Good

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very little privacy, pods are open and communal. Noise can be an issue and cleanliness was poor. The location and entrance felt weird — you enter through the alley and it felt unsafe, surrounded by homeless people everywhere. Bathrooms and shared areas felt cramped and dated.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Staff is efficient once contact is made and I've never had a problem staying here.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Thin blankets more like sheets cold at night ac not on during the day only night

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The lady manager gave my stored items away and let people just come in and out whenever they want and steal things from people

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    The cleanliness of the sheets and environment did not feel great. My skin reacted harshly to the bed and my friend also began to feel itchy and uncomfortable. Overall just felt warm and musty from the moment we stepped in. The bathroom was okay and kept clean though. Almost hard to find parking and needing to walk to the actual location which is down a small side street alley. You WILL have to pay for parking. Definitely plan ahead for parking and to pay $22-$40 overnight. There are many cool places to check out nearby like shops/nightlife/etc.
