Overall quite a lovely spot to stay. Well decorated, very comfortable, very clean, nice amenities, showers a bit small for a big guy like myself but enjoyed it nonetheless. Would highly recommend and would stay again in the future
What a unique stay. Exceeded expectations. So much thought and quality work put into this space. Quiet, comfortable, interesting artwork, top level appliances. The info book provided excellent tips for the area along with concise information for the space. Very responsive hosts. Highly recommend and would stay again.
I've always wanted to stay in a container home and this tiny gem was a perfect first-time lodging. You could tell from the pictures online that the owners had great style but you dont really appreciate all the little touches until you get there. It was small but not cramped. Everything we needed was easy to access and even with nearby neighbors it was very quiet at night. I would absolutely book this property again.
Comfy, quiet, convenient, clean and like new, great parking right at front door, very close to FWB downtown/main streets. I enjoyed my stay and will stay again when I'm in the area.P.S. Great Thai food at Thai Kitchen 2 blocks away!
This tiny home was the cleanest place we have ever stayed in! We loved looking at all the photography on the walls. Very artsy and quirky! It has everything you need for 2 people!
The house is decorated nicely. The shower was a unbelievably small. You can’t even turn around hardly in it. The management company failed to communicate with the owners about the unsafe feelings we felt staying at the house due to the neighborhood. We had asked to not have to stay and never heard about which is very I called for when it’s goes to a safety issue.
