8/10
For the most part, we loved this property. It was comfortable, clean, well-appointed, had great living space and the host was both pleasant and responsive. The parking pass situation was easy to navigate - we parked within a block of the house both times we needed a spot. I also loved the layout, which was something I hadn’t gathered from the listing. The ground floor where you enter has all the common space, the next floor up has a bedroom and full bathroom and bathroom and the next floor up had the other bedroom and bathroom. Very nice for having quiet space.Two considerations worth a mention: 1) we had hot weather when we visited and the AC does not reach the top floor with the second bedroom. The host provided ample fans and cooling ideas but in that type of weather, it wasn’t ideal. 2) on the two weekend nights of our stay, there were several people riding illegal street bikes late into the night on nearby streets (and up on the pedestrian paths around Federal Hill’s park) with police helicopters flying around tracking them. I don’t know if this is a normal occurrence and if that weekend we visited was an exception, but it was unpleasant to encounter when walking home later at night, and especially scary walking with a small child. I debated whether to list these considerations because they are mostly out of the host’s control (and otherwise had a lovely experience) but felt the second one especially had an impact and it’s important to be aware.
