    Nothing, although if you aren’t able to climb stairs this isn’t the place for you as the main level is up one flight and our room (queen) was two floors up.

    Great location and the host, Stephan was very welcoming and friendly. He is very interested in his visitors and offered great restaurant recommendations and travel advice. The kitchen is always available so leftovers can be heated up. Coffee and tea and yogurt, cereals, breads and fruit are provided for breakfast anytime.

    Parking is on the street, which is very narrow. I was worried about someone side swiping my car. (But that didn't happen.)

    The owners were friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the morning was greatly appreciated!

    The only negative thing was nothing to do with the property. It is that the underground transport system out to Davis, where the property is located, is so poorly maintained that it travels extremely slowly compared to any other city we have visited. It meant that if we wished to dine out in the city in the evening, it was best to plan our time so that we were out all day, rather than returning to freshen up prior to going out again in the evening. Just something to be aware of and definitely not the fault of our hosts.

    Excellent friendly service and communication. Stephen went to great trouble to give us information about what to see and do, and also where to eat. The room was clean and comfortable. Good restaurants nearby. Ten out of ten!

    We stayed for 4 days and we really liked the place, the hosts Cristina and Steven were very attentive at all times giving the best advice on what to do. The place is very clean and the breakfast is adequate to start the day. The area is close to the city and full of restaurants and shops, the train stop is super close. We liked it a lot and we will surely return Adriána and Susana from Spain - NYC

    The second-floor room with a private bathroom was quiet and peaceful. I had wonderful conversations with the hosts and a few other guests. Breakfast, while simple, served its purpose as a good start to the day. Street parking was convenient. The location was excellent, close to the train station, but be sure to consider the travel time by train.

    The room is cozy, but adequate. In addition to the one upholstered chair, a folding chair would have been helpful for a second guest to sit. Overall, we had no complaints. We enjoyed our stay very much!
